A year ago we started what looks to be a yearly tradition of raspberry picking. We again went to Rowe's Farm near Mason, MI and had a great time. Chesley and Kaden both ate as many berries as they could while Karl and I filled the containers. As you can see, we had a wonderful time!
On Friday we went to the Ingham County Fair and enjoyed the rides. Chesley was tall enough to go on some more adult rides this year like the Loop-o-Plane and the Cliff Hanger. He really liked them!
It's been a week full of memories! We're house sitting for Mom and Dad Haynes and get to have the place all to ourselves. As you can see from the pictures, we're having lots of fun!
I (Denise) lived in Reading, PA from about 1990 to 1995. My family has been back a few times to visit but I have never gone. So, since we were just 40 min. drive away in Lancaster, we decided to drive over to Reading before we returned home.
The first place we visited was where my parents rented for several years before they finally bought a house on the other side of the city (the second picture). It was strange to see it all, and remember riding my bike up and down the block. The houses looked so different and more rundown than I remembered them.
A few other places we visited were the William Penn Fire Tower and the Pagoda on top of Mount Penn. From there we could see the whole city. It was a beautiful day to go site seeing and we had a great time.
It's a warm day here in Michigan getting up to 62° F. We all put on our sunglasses and made a trip to the park. What a beautiful day!
