Gettysburg Family on Vacation, Again...

I do enjoy vacations. Lots and lots and lots of fun. And with my brandy-new camera, I have lots and lots and lots of pictures. I won't overwhelm you with all of the photos at once. So, if you haven't heard, we went to Upstate New York to visit friends and family. We packed a lot into the week. The following photos are all from our visit with Janna and Gretchen and their families. For any of you who don't know, Janna and Gretchen have been my bestest friends since we were in the third grade.

Let's start with a picture of kittens, shall we? I mean, Atlee and kittens. What's the cute factor on that? Gret's neighbor had kittens. While Atlee enjoyed playing with them, we managed to escape the visit without taking home a kitten. That's willpower.


Here's Gretchen. And me.

Here's Janna. And me.
Did I mention they're identical twins? Beautiful, blond identical twins. A little tough on the self-esteem in the teenage years. Funny thing about those teen years, the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. I bet if I asked them, they'd say it was tough to have a gorgeous brunette Amazon as a friend. Right? Gret- Janna- right? Oh, never mind...

Greeley had fun, too.

There's been some concern expressed over Shea. He's still part of our family... it's just that he's frequently in front of a screen. Not so exciting for pictures. See? He and Gret's son, Gabe, immediately bonded over the computer.


Did I mention the kittens? Atlee said it was her absolutely favorite part of the whole week. I had to frisk her as we got into the van to leave. I was pretty sure she'd try to smuggle one home.

More vacation pictures to come... I know, I know... it's kind of like looking at your cousin's slide show. Too bad. I have lots more vacation pictures to share.
