Canoe/Kayak Trip on the Schuylkill River

We loaded up the jeep and trailer and went boating on the Schuylkill River and Canal...

Scaly

Kade saved his money and bought, Scaly, an albino corn snake...

Here is a fairly gross video of Scaly eating.

Island Beach State Park

After 10 years in southeastern PA we finally made a trip "down the shore." Kade and I went to Island Beach State Park for the day.

The southern end of the island was very quiet and not crowded...

Unfortunately, it the swimming area was far more crowded than what we are used to given that we have got to the beach in North Carolina for our whole lives...

Next time I think we will stay down at the southern end and deal with not being able to rinse off. We still had a good time...

Claytor Lake State Park

We had a great time visiting with the family...

Thanks to Mom and Dad Thompson for bringing up all the beautiful flowers. Our landscaping has never looked so good!!!

Coco's Doggles

Due to uveitis, Coco needed to wear sunglasses for awhile this summer. Luckily the problem cleared up although we never did figure out what caused it...

Classic Truck Show

Kade and I came across a classic truck show during a bike ride...

The coolest truck was a traveling train display...

Bike Ride on Schuylkill River Trail

The trail is extremely washed out this year due to all the heavy rain and storms...

All the water is great for the amphibians...

Radio 104.5 Birthday Show

We took the boys to their first concert. It was a great time. St. Lucia, Kongos, Bastille, and Foster the People were our favorites...
