Hi everyone,
Beautiful backdrop to the pool.
We are in, what I call, the “rest and relaxation” mode of our trip around the US. Being at Trev’s sister’s home is like being in a hotel that has everything we could ever need. The views around here are absolutely beautiful and the feeling of serenity and peace can be found in all areas of this magical property (OK….well nearly all…….if I avoid where the seven kids are playing!!!!)
Relaxing outside home
We have narrowed the choice of a motorhome down to two, so hopefully will have made a decision by tomorrow. We have been driving around this little town of Dillsburg and surrounding districts and love the open spaces and regal looking houses, (not a fence in sight). Everyone seems to have long driveways and carefully manicured lawns and gardens. I have now posted some photos but I am still working out how to position them successfully. The kids’ blogs are still being worked on, so hopefully in the next few days they can start adding the memories they would like, from “their” point of view rather than ours.
Peaceful views from pool area
Tomorrow we are going to see Amish community about an hour away from here. The kids are fascinated that in this day and age, that there are still cultures that don’t use technology. Apparently the Amish feel it weakens the family structure. We are looking forward to seeing the horsedrawn carts and the clothes they wear. By then, we should have some photos up, so the blog will begin to look a little more interesting.
Hey guys, all sounds fantastic. Can’t wait for some more pix and can’t believe you did New York to Linda’s in that. We did the same in the equivalent of a mini years ago and three of us had to sleep sitting up. Take care and good luck finding the right RV xx
Vicki, I can just see you and Saeed and Saf in a mini! Poor Yas missed out on that experience! Now, can you see 9 of us in a mini?????
Hi Cath. It was long before Saf came along. We shared the car with the groom’s brother from Holland and he was about 6 foot 4 so it was well squishy 🙂
I figured it must have been before Yas was born. You may have to do it again sometime, just so she can share the experience!! Cath
G’day,
Great pic BUT you left with only 7 kids – there’s 8 in the photo – hee hee – enjoy xxx
Deb, thought you might notice that there are 8 kids in the photo, not 7. Little cousin Scarlett could pass as one of ours though!
Sounds like your having a great time. Book Week next week. Kit, your pre primary friends are learning about USA they were telling me today that you would be asleep while they were changing their library books. Exciting news about the motorhome picture please when you have decidered. What a fabulous learning experience the children are having.
Miss you guys on Thursdays. Take care.
Hi Janine, thanks for commenting. Kit very excited to know that his classmates back in Oz are studying the USA. He’ll have heaps to share with them when he gets back. Good luck with Bookweek. Would love to see photos of you all dressed up as storybook characters.
