~My brother's trip to Italy!  As I'm typing this my brother is somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean in an airplane on his way home from Italy for a work trip!  Other than my father who was in the Army and was stationed overseas, he's the first one in my family to travel internationally.  We've been tracking his flight and pray that by the time you are reading this he'll be safely home :)

~We paid our car off!  Yes, our Subaru Legacy is now officially ours!  So exciting :)

~Kaylee had an interview!  It was her very first job interview and was good practice for her.  We  haven't heard anything about the job yet but that is OK.  She'll be busy with College.  In a way, I'd rather her just focus on her school work but God's will be done :)

~Cotton Candy Ice Cream!  Laken's very favorite ice cream flavor is Cotton Candy.  Our local ice cream stand, Sundae's, had Cotton Candy as their flavor of the week so another trip for ice cream was pretty much a must!  Laken got her Cotton Candy and I got another Peanut Butter Sundae.  Win, win :)

~Kaylee's Driver's test is tomorrow!  Kaylee goes for her driving portion of the driver's test at 1pm tomorrow.  We've been practicing parallel parking and what we THINK is the driving route for a few weeks now.  She wants to go back and practice again today.  I'd appreciate prayers that she does well on the exam and passes.  She really needs her license so she can drive herself to College by August 19th!  Of course, I'll be a nervous wreck but that's OK :)
 
What are you thankful for today?

~Hubby's vacation week!  Last week was all about family time.  The number of summer vacation we get to spend with our girls is dwindling as they grow up and that makes me a bit sad but we had a great week :)

~Lake Tobias!  Lake Tobias is a wildlife park in Halifax, PA.  I had never heard of it before Laken went on a field trip to there this past school year.  We made the 3 hour drive to Lake Tobias Wildlife Park so Laken could be our tour guide.  We even went on a safari where the animal came right up to the safari vehicle.  It was amazing to see all the animals and so close :)

~The Meg!  One evening we rented a movie from the Redbox and had a Family Movie night complete with Twizzlers :)  The Meg was a great movie but don't watch it if you already have a fear of sharks!  :)

~Ice Cream!  Of course we hit up our favorite ice cream spot a few times while on vacation.  Sundae's has THE BEST peanut butter sundae I've ever had.  Yummm…  The flavor of the week was Black Raspberry.  It switched over to Cotton Candy on Monday.  Laken is pleading for another ice cream trip as Cotton Candy is her FAVORITE :)

~Camping!  We went tent camping for 3 days and 2 nights at Shawnee State Park here in PA.  We set up two tents and 4 air mattresses in 1.5 hours flat!  It was a good thing we were so quick about it because a rain shower came not long after the last tent peg was pounded into the ground.  We had so much fun camping.  It was a nice relaxing time of fishing, reading, hiking and sitting around the campfire.  I can't wait to go again :)
