Our Week with Mom

A while back we had planned on having Jackie (she goes by Jaclyn now, but I'm going to just go ahead and call her Jackie on my blog) with us for the whole month of June. I'm crazy about Jackie, so I was thrilled, then at the last minute my mom decided to come out for the first week of June, which was an even bigger bonus. Every year, my mom, sister and I try to do some sort of girl's weekend, so this ended up being perfect. We spent every day out and about doing something, I didn't take a whole lot of pictures because sometimes it's nice to just be able to enjoy yourself without snapping a million photos, but here is what I do have.

My mom went to church with us on Sunday which I think was a cool experience for her. She even went to primary with me, which was awesome because she didn't sit in the back or anything, she plunked herself right in the middle of the Valiant boys class and wrangled any trouble makers, LOVED IT! We spent the rest of the day roaming Fairmount Park and feeding the ducks.



We went back to Sesame Place, which was great because it was finally warm enough to play in the water park. Skyler takes a while to warm up to these types of things, but Jayda had a blast.




We went to Ocean City, right before the season really picked up, so we got the place to ourselves, it was really nice. We also walked the boardwalk and sampled some delicious crab cakes that had apparently been hailed by Food Network.



We spent another day going through Intercourse for a day at Kitchen Kettle. Can't get enough of those samples! We got there on a good day too because they had some live music. Skyler wasn't feeling the shopping so much, so him and I sat outside to listen and make funny faces. Of course we couldn't go home afterward without a trip to the Smorgasbord, I mean, c'mon.






The rest of our visit with mom was spent mostly eating, a bit of shopping, and a lot of hanging out enjoying each other's company. Even though I knew I was going to be seeing her again, it was hard to say goodbye when she left.
