Something Worth Blogging About

Has it really been almost a month since my last post??? Sometimes I don't feel like there is anything to blog about or take pictures of. We have been really laid back this month and just flat out lazy. We did go to Hershey for two days and I didn't take many pictures. I don't know why exactly but I didn't. We had a blast and it was so much fun. I also celebrated my 12th Anniversary with Corey. We went out to eat and to the movie Thor and had a great time. Even though 12 years sounds like a long time I always compare to people who celebrate 50 years together and Corey and I have a long ways to go.

I realized how lazy I have been and so on Friday I took the kids to the C&O canal here close by in Williamsport. This is where I run with my running group on Saturdays so I know the trail really well. I had never been in the little museum yet so we went in there and then unpacked the bikes for an hour of riding fun with no cars to worry about. I don't have a bike and Hailey doesn't either so we just strolled it up and down the path. The kids really liked it and it wasn't too hot either.

Old bridge they used to lift up for the boats to go under.

This is one of the locks. The lady told us that only one man lived at the lock house and opened the float gates for the boats by himself. This thing was massive. You can see Gabe attempting to open the gate on the opposite side. Didn't go so well.

This swan just sat there and we walked right up to it.

So beautiful

Just a cute face picture, couldn't resist.

On Saturday my friend Tiffany invited us to go to the American Doll store that just opened in Washington D.C. Lexie has a doll that I got from Toys R Us for 30 bucks compared to the American Doll which is 100 bucks. She plays with her on occasion so we got her and the doll all dolled up and headed out to see it. This place was overwhelming. Everything you could think of for a doll they sold. I was so tempted to just give in and buy her a doll. But I couldn't rationalize the 100 bucks for a doll. Or 30 bucks for an outfit for the doll. But we did have some fun while there.

Three girls who went together, and had so much fun.

They have a Bistro there that you can eat lunch with your doll. Tiffany had made reservations in advance so we dined in. The prices were outrageous for what you got. 16 bucks a person and that was even for little Lexie. The food was alright but not worth that much money in my opinion. We still had lots of fun though.

They even had a beauty salon where you can get your dolls hair done and ears pierced. I did pay to have Lexie's dolls hair done because it was a big mess. They did a great job.

It really was a lot of fun. The drive was long however and after all the excitement of the day my little Miss Lexie was just too exhausted. I came out of my bedroom to find this.

Shopping is just too exhausting.
