We had a shortened trip to see the McDonnell clan this summer, since I inadvertently caught half the family out of town on vacation! (Note to self--plan better next summer) But here are some pictures from our visit east. We went to Mystic Seaport with Dad and Gail, which was a lot of fun. And since Brennan and Nate are currently on a Revolutionary War kick, the Pierces took us to Valley Forge and the "Paoli Massacre" site (which wasn't really a massacre, and wasn't really in Paoli, but oh well.) We visited the Anthonys but somehow didn't take pictures. (Oops!) But we did drive down from York to DC for a day's touristing.
Can you see Dad, Gail, Nate, and Annie?
Here we are pretending to attack Fred at the Paoli Massacre site.
Aww, we didn't mean it, Fred!
We spent some fun evenings hanging out with the Pierce family.
Here our Brennan (ever the ham) acts out something in a Charade type game. (Lorrie, John, or Greg, can you remind me of the name of that game? It was fun!)
Here's Nate with Abe.

Finally, back at home. What's a summer without some sparklers?

It looks like you guys had a great summer! I can't get over how grown up your children are looking. It is really amazing! We love you and would love to somehow see you all soon. God bless! Cath
