Our new home!
Well, we've been here for a month now. We are almost finished painting and unpacking. Three of our neighbors brought us welcome gifts within the first few weeks, how nice! We feel very comfortable and safe in our neighborhood. I will post pictures as fast as I can to give you all an idea of what our new life looks like. Please leave comments or email me!!!
A few of the things we have done so far:
*Visited Gettysburg. Elijah calls it Gettysbooger and the memorial statues- statuwas. We drove through the battlefield to find the kids favorite memorial, The New York Celtic Cross, and ate at an underground tavern that was a stop on the underground railroad.
*Drove through Amish country. The main Amish communities are a couple of hours away and we went on a Sunday so most everything was closed. We did see a lot of horse and buggies and discovered a lot of things to go back and do when some of you all come out for a visit!
*Spent a day at Laurel Lake. A friend from church invited us to go to the lake today. The kids had a blast! There was a really nice sand beach but it still had the feel of the mountainous lake surrounded by trees and picnic tables. We found some nice camping sites and all of this is only about half an hour away.
