Gettysburg

This weekend my friend from BYU, Amelia, visited us. We took a trip to Gettysburg - about an hour away from Hershey.

There are lots of fun parks here in Hershey. This great playground is a couple minutes from where we live and a favorite.

Smithsonian Air and Space Museum

This weekend, we met Darin's fam in Virginia for Brad (Darin's bro) and Marianne's wedding open house. Before the open house, we had an eventful visit to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. This place is amazing!

Baby in the Belly

These 3D ultrasound pictures of our baby boy were taken at 27 weeks. Our little guy looks a lot like Tate!

Tate's surroundings are getting to him - when he looks at these pictures he says, "brother covered with chocolate."

Linsy, 32 weeks pregnant. Oh yeah, getting closer!

Hershey Gardens

Hershey Gardens is a favorite family outing spot. Tate and I visit a couple times a week to picnic, look around the children's garden and butterfly house, or just stroll around smelling the roses. Established in 1937 by Milton Hershey, it is a 25 acre garden built high on a hill overlooking Hershey. Its a great place to relax and its only 10 minutes from our casa!

These picts are from a recent visit when Darin joined us.
