A Last Minute Trip to the Poconos

So as I posted earlier, I (Val) took a trip to the Poconos with the kids to see the family a few weeks ago in the middle of October. Mom, Dad and Matt were already planning on going, but since I had just recently gotten back from the trip to York, I hadn't planned on it. But the night before the family was leaving to go up to Lake Naomi, I decided at the last minute to join them. Unfortunately Jason couldn't go on this trip either because of work, but he did get some more seminary done in our absence. We had a great time seeing everyone again!

Here is the house we stayed in.

It was definitely cold in the Poconos. I had to bring out some of the kid's fleece outfits for the first time. It actually snowed like 5 inches or something like that the first few days we were there. It was crazy, but seriously beautiful!

Rachel hanging out with Roxy and Rowdy.

The first night we went to the country club of the Lake Naomi property and had a fun dinner overlooking the lake. It was the most gorgeous background for dinner with all of the new fallen snow.

Over the time that we were there, we took Caleb swimming in the indoor pool a few times. He had a blast!

Rachel came to the pool too, but she didn't go into the water just yet!

A group shot another night out for dinner.

After dinner out, we had a movie night, and Caleb and Pops didn't make it very long before falling asleep on the couch together. Caleb was so cute...he looked a little bit deceased actually (not to be morbid)! Ha ha!

Nora came to visit on the last day the kids and I were there (she lives like 20 minutes from where we were). We had a great time catching up and it was great that she got to meet Rachel!

One last pic with Grammy and Pops before heading to bed on the last night.

Mom and Dad snapped this one...we always have to take a picture of a deer while in the Poconos of course! :)
