Visit to Mt. Gretna

Conrad, Ben and i went to Mt. Gretna for a little trip before I have to go back to school on Monday. It was delightful to get away even if it was only for a couple days. It was hot and humid, but there was a fantastic storm that came through and cooled everything off.

Great Gran Buck with Ben. She sure makes him laugh!
This little man got a little tired, waaaaaaaaaay past his bedtime!


We took Ben to the Jigger Shop (an ice cream parlor that is a staple of Mt. Gretna) and he saw/had his first Jigger (an ice cream sundae). Boy did he love that whipped marshmallow topping with Jigger nuts!



Here are a couple of videos. the first is Conrad playing peek-a-boo with Ben.



This second video is just our cheeky Monkey.




Ben fell asleep the other night and he looked so peaceful. What a beautiful boy!
But.... what a messy eater!!!

I have to return to school on Monday, and am a little nervous. It has been a while since I was away from my little man for so long everyday. I am sure going to miss our time together. He is such a good boy and so much fun to play with. So... WISH ME LUCK!!!!!! I'm going to need it!
