Visit to Carlisle, PA

We made the drive down to Carlisle for the day to visit Cristina and the boys.  I don't know how they do it for just the day when they come here.  Granted they do get on the road earlier and spend more time here, but it was pretty rough for me and the kids to do the 2.5 hours there and the 2.5 hours back.  My back just does not appreciate it when I drive for any longish distance.  We did however enjoy our time there with our family.

Jack has recently become very interested in trains and cars, through no encouragement by me.  He was very excited to play with David's transportation toys.

Isabella had a great time too.  It is always fun to play with new toys.  She especially liked the monkeys that fly through the air and make noise when they land. She and David are holding them in this photo.

Aunt Cristina was trying to show her how to do it...wasn't that easy for her though.

Aunt Cristina was also gracious enough to let the kids use chalk and color on the chalkboard.  I am sure she had to do some cleaning of the nice white frame after my kids were done.  Jack didn't do the best job keeping the chalk on the black board.  It was fun though!
