Today we went to Warwick Park for a little fun. We enjoyed the playground, then took a walk on the trails. 
The boys with a family friend who came along.
Brownie dripping everywhere, but she was having a blast. So what's a Mom to do, but get out the camera of course and join in the fun!
Yummmmmm!
Andrew went on his first backpacking camping trip. Here he is right before he left. He has everything in his backpack except the tent and food (leader has that). We just picked him up. They were gone for 2 nights and ended up hiking a total of 10 miles. Andrew did well and enjoyed the adventure, but not the leadership. Turns out he is an excellent campfire chef and everyone was raving about his BBQ chicken. Guess what he is making tomorrow?!?!?
While Andrew was away, Kendyl and Steven had fun with K's new pool!
Yes, she was drinking the water. I am trying to teach her not to!
We met the Quinty's and too Kendyl to her first carnival! Despite the photo (thanks Marianne!) she did enjoy the slide, but mostly she enjoyed just looking around, and dancing to the music. She was dancing in her stroller as she heard the music from each ride, too cute! She loved the maze/fun house that she did with Tim and all the boys.
Here are the boys on their favorite ride. They went on twice, and actually got Steven to try it! He loved it.
Tim and Kendyl left early (K was tired) but the rest of us stayed for quite awhile. The boys enjoyed lots of rides, a few games (Steven won a monkey he named Funnel Cake) and of course some carnival food. Steven had funnel cake, and Andrew....a pretzel of course!
Hope everyone had as nice of a Mother's Day as I did. I was able to sleep in, treated to a wonderful breakfast, then they gave me this beautiful necklace!
Later we ran some quick errands together, stopped at a park (no one else was there!) to play...so much fun, then home to play Yahtzee while Kendyl didn't nap. 
Andrew set this beautiful table (the pottery in the center is a handmade lighthouse from Andrew that a candle goes inside). The flowers were from Kendyl. Tim made a fabulous surf and turf dinner with my favorite crab cakes...yumm!
The kids and I took Mom to the Philadelphia Zoo the day before Mother's Day to honor and celebrate the holiday with her. It was a great day, and nice to spend time together.
Andrew took this picture of the peacocks. He was strutting his stuff right next to us the entire time we were eating our picnic lunch (I don't think she was in the mood though :-)
Steven was having fun with a boa.
Everyone like the alligator snapping turtle. He was HUGE and quite entertaining to watch.
The zoo balloon wasn't flying AGAIN, so we rode the swan boats. Hopefully sometime this year we will get to go on it! Andrew and Mom went in one boat.....
Steven, Kendyl and I went in another. Kendyl did well for the first lap around the island, but started to cry into our 2nd lap, took her shoes off and even stood up. The lifejackets made it pretty hot, I think that was the problem.
Our picnic lunch next to the peacock. Oh, and the geese! OMG! They kept attacking us from every angle to get food, they were horrible. Thankfully the boys thought it was fun (for a little while anyway) to chase them away. So annoying!
Kendyl having fun in the Treehouse.
Mom took Kendyl on the draft horse named Sam. She cried at first, but calmed down quickly and enjoyed the ride. They boys also went on Sam.
Mom and her grandbabies.
Kendyl was getting quite tired by this point, but grandmom to the rescue with her sunglasses and silly faces. We were waiting for the boys, they wanted to ride the camel.
Here they are!
Kendyl will NOT fall asleep in her stroller for anything (none of my kids ever did/will), but the car, no problem. She slept most of the way home.
