The Seven Week Break

Just a warning...this is going to be a really long post because I am so bad at keeping up.  But I don't want to leave anything out of my Summer!  So here we go! (It's a picture story, and it's not even in chronological order, so just deal ;) )

This is the beginning of our family reunion trip to TN.  I believe this is in the Shenandoah Valley.  



This is in TN at the resort. 

Harry Potter.  

Dad and I after we found him... (he got lost buying jerky)

Now we're skipping to the Phillies Game that we got to go to over break.  We sat in the Hall of Fame club and got to see a lot of cool stuff.  





My birthday!





1993...it was a great year!



The walls were covered in baseballs, it was super cool!

The 'rents in front of HK's booth. 



The brothers


Mom and I's black bean burgers. 


Me: Nate and Evan smile! 
Evan: I am not going to smile because Nathan will not share his NACHOS. 
This is one of my favorite pictures. 



He's a lumberjack. 

Megan: Brian McCann looks like a lumberjack.
Geoff: Oh yeah actually he is in the offseason.
Megan: Oh really?! 
Geoff: Yeah, he actually goes to Peru in the winter and just lumberjacks away. 
Megan: (hesitant) Wait... I hate you.



Evan's soccer game

He won!

I asked mom if this picture came out good and she said yes.  When we got home...this is what I found.  That's a great smile if I do say so myself.  Thanks mom :)  

Pumpkin pecan...yum!


One of the best places on earth!

We drove around the national park and got lots of great pictures.  Loved it.  So many TREES!!!
