Where in the World is Kenna and Cam 2009- Adventure #2

Saturday decided to take off for the day to explore Presque Isle PA. This is a state park pennisula across from Erie. Approx. 4 miles long full of beaches, bike trails, and historical buildings. There is an amusement park-Waldameer (Cheap) outside the gates, and a free observation and environmental center outside as well. Erie also has Presque Isle Downs and Casino, which we didn't get to but also a lot of wineries surrounding. Our plans were to go geocaching as well, but unfortunately the website was acting up, and although it said the coords. posted on my machine, we got there and none of them were on. Will give us an excuse to take maybe a whole weekend up there to explore. There are quite a few different museums and tourist things in town.

Today, Rena and Andy, Lauryn and Logan came over for lunch and games. Nice to just hangout. All in all, busy but an enjoyable weekend.

Looking forward to Friday as I have off as well! Getting some of the new carpet installed and taking a family friend to lunch.

Slacker....

Okay, so I have dragged on the posting lately. One reason is that I have been sucked into the Facebook scene. I have very limited info on my profile page, no pics of the family, and I have vowed to only use it as banter and communication purposes. I figure, if I know someone well and trust them, I will direct them to this blog and they can get more intimate info on our family if they are asking. It is funny how people who I went to school with and never once even had a conversation with, is inviting me to be their friends. Some people are impressed by the # of "friends" they have. I am only accepting people who I have actually some history with and even some of those, I just don't want to rekindle a relationship with. It is nice though for the kids because of the instant messaging feature. They can talk back and forth to their cousins in Turkey if they want, as they seem to be on a lot. Another reason for slacking is the fact that not much has been happening around here lately to post. Kev has gotten laid off, so we are laying pretty low for the summer now. We are still planning the "Where in the World Series" with the kids, but maybe not too crazy like the Canada excursion. Unfortunately, that ended up costing an extra $600 in van repairs :( Another reason is that we have STILL been working on tiling and the floors getting ready for the carpet- Finally! They are doing the stairs and hallway this week and hopefully the rest in a couple. We have also been busy with landscaping/planting. How ironic is it that now Kev is home to really get stuff done around here, we can't spend. Doh... Life is nothing but a catch 22! Today we have to go to Mom's since it is her B-Day, and we have Angel and Albert's graduation party. Not quite sure what the plans are for tomorrow. Maybe Grilling and Magaritas with the group. Off to dig up some perrenials to take to my mom.
