Berry picking!


Today, we went to Solebury Orchards with Steph to do some berries picking. We first started with some blueberries.
Looking for just the right one.

"Maybe if I crawl under the blueberry bush I'll find one"

"Yep, there's the perfect one up there!"
A perfect big juicy blueberry.

Then it was time to move onto picking raspberries.

"The sign says to walk all the way to the end, Steph."

Making sure that he picks just the reddest of the red raspberries.

Found one!

Here's some good ones for the basket.

It's so close it's scary!


I was off to the zoo this afternoon to see what was new. The howler monkeys are now able to venture outside!

This one seems to really like the outdoors.

And how great is a pony ride!!

Another perk of being a member!!

Sellersville Carnival

Tonight, we headed to the Sellersville Carnival with Nan and Pop for dinner. We all enjoyed hamburgers and fries and then of course waffles and ice cream!

Dave wanted to play the fishing game to see what he could win.

Getting a little help from Nan to catch a fish.

"Look I caught a shark!"

Choosing just the right puppy to take home.

Pennridge Community Day!

We all had such a great time this year at the Pennridge Community Day! In fact we spent the entire day at the event. First thing was to stop and visit the petting zoo.

"Nan, feel how soft the bunny is!"
And then we had to stop and see Pies at the Foundation table. And of course we didn't win just one goldfish, we came home with 3!! And yes, all three were won officially by Dave!

Then as we were walking down the path, the Silverdale Fire Company was yelling to Dave that their junior firefighter needed to come visit them!! Dave talking to Fireman James.

The best fire truck there is!
Community Day would not be complete without a huge piece of watermelon.

And a tractor ride.

Dave shouting at all the Silverdale Fireman as we ride by.

Dave watching his funnel cake being baked.

Enjoying the funnel cake!!

Trying his luck at the candy wheel, of course he chose the turtle.


Jumping on the trampoline.

And doing a flip!

Getting a tattoo.

"Will I be lucky with the ring toss?"

"Nan, let's try some sand art!"


And the best part of Community Day!!!!


Dave, Pies, and I were sitting patiently waiting for the fireman to start their water battle.

And look who walks up!!

Daddy!
The Silverdale Fire Department was short one guy to help out with the water battle, so they talked Chris into helping them.

Up first was Fireman Mario's team, they won 2 out of 3 battles!!

Next was Daddy's team! (Chris is the one on the end.)


Daddy's team won one out of three battles.

Daddy's team in action!
The whole Silverdale Fire Company.

They had Chris wear the Assistant Chief gear, I think it started to get to his head!!

I'm only kidding he was waving at Dave and I just caught him at the right moment to look like he was ordering people around.

Community Day fireworks!

Just a few seconds of the firework finale.
