family vacation

 I know, Ive been AWOL again.  I'm guilty!   not sure what I did all month, but last week we went on our family vacation to Watkins glen.  For Christmas last year my kids gave us a week vacation for the whole family at a big lake house on Seneca lake.   It was a lovely place with lots of room for everyone.  my Pies were all there together for part of the time.  busy for grammie.. but I loved every minute of it.  (well there were a few where it got a teeny tiny bit overwhelming!  lol!!)

 It was a perfect place for everyone to hang out and I particularly loved the big deck the overlooked the lake.   I spent early mornings out there enjoying the quiet views as the sun was coming up until Torry or Marla got up to join me.  I have decided that Grand pies are at their very best lovable cuddly selves first thing in the morning.  

 And... some of them love popcorn as much as I do.  I taught these two to make funny popcorn faces!  they were hysterical! 

 And then there was the night we played pie face.. the game was bought for the children to play, but I think Torry was the only one that got to play because we waited for them to all go to bed before us grown ups played!  This game ended up in a whip cream war between Bethany and Tiffany!   we all laughed our you know whats off that night!

 Then one afternoon after a bit of an overwhelming morning with the kids for everyone.  I sent the big adult children off to hike at Watkins Glen park and I stayed home with the grandpies.  I love the selfie shots they took!  Lol!  the people behind them were either wishing they were having as much fun or that the clowns in front of them would stop taking pictures and keep moving!  lol!

 And then there was this morning...  OH the freaking cuteness...   my heart could just burst!

So that is just a few of the hundreds of pics we took.. mostly of the children.  we also tried to have a picnic at the beach... but the bees chased us out..  seriously..  miraculously no one got stung.  we went to a science museum of play which was an awesome place to take the kids!   

Over all it was a great week.  I could have easily planted myself on the deck and never moved... but those little pies kept me on my toes for sure!    I loved waking up to my big family in the mornings and seeing all my kids together.  my hubby came just for Saturday and Sunday.  (he cant handle all of them together very well and he had to work..  his loss!! lol!)

Okeedokie.. Marla's here and we have things to do today.. so Happy Saturday bloggy pies!!
