Monday I/we finally got home from my grandparent's house. Though I did have a wonderful time visiting with them and with the rest of the family, I am glad to be back home where everything is familiar! Between both Levi and I, the total number of pictures taken is 1,344, so I won't even begin to come close to posting them all. LOL!

My new flower header image was taken (by me) out back at Gran and Pap's house. I have no clue what kind of flower it even is, but it looks neat with those curly things in the middle and the spiky edges!

Pap and Levi picked a good many of the black raspberries, and we got to have Raspberry Shortcake twice! Yummy!

This is where Gran and Pap attend church – Old Furnace Church of the Brethren (and where Levi & I went Sunday morning…). Levi, Gran, and I went there to clean up (vacuum, dust, clean the bathrooms, straighten up, etc) and we (of course!) took the camera along to get some good snapshots!

That picture there in the middle is Levi and I and our cousins Angela and Amy. Amy's on the left, and Angie is between me and Levi. We haven't been able to get a picture with us all together for several years, so we decided to get one while we were all there together!

We spent Thursday with our Aunt Mel, and that evening Levi, my cousin Kyle, and Uncle Wayne went on a bike ride. The trail was 16 miles long, I think, but it was a gradual downhill ride, so you really didn't have to pedal your bike too much. Aunt Mel and I were the "check-pointers" and kept checking up on them at different locations to make sure they got there alright.

It wasn't near as hot during the day there as it is here.. I guess being up in the mountains kinda cools things off a bit.

Seeing how there's just about 200-300 pictures for everyday, you can imagine how hard it is to just pick out a few to post. Saturday we went on the same bike trail (16 miles long), only this time both Aunt Mel and I went along. It was pretty easy riding, and beautiful scenery along the trail.

All in all, we had a good trip, though I did miss everybody! I'm so glad to be home again, and I'm sure Mom & Dad are glad to have us back, since they had to do all the animal chores while we were gone.
