Today we decided on an impromptu adventure up to Hanover, Pennsylvania!

                           

To check out and tour the Utz Factory! Look at all those goodies!

   

   

Pretzels and cheese puffs and chips and popcorn and....lots and lots of yummy snacks!

   

We got to learn a little about the company and then we got to walk through the factory and see the life cycle of a potato from whole vegetable with skin on it to a crispy, golden, fried chip! 

                            

   

We weren't allowed to take pictures of the process but it was so interesting and so cool to see the whole process in motion! We love Utz chips and snacks!

                            

                            

And of course we all got free chips at the end of the tour!

                            

                             

Then it was off to the factory store! SO MANY CHIPS AND SNACKS AND STUFF!!!

                            

We wanted it all! Popcorn, snack mix, cheese balls, so much yummy stuff!

                             

And Mama was so excited because she found what she says is the best part of the snack mix...rye chips!

                            

                            

   

It was so much fun and we went home with so, so much stuff! We did get stuff for MeMa and PopPop and Liam got stuff but still...we went a little nuts at the old Utz factory store!

                            

                            

When we got home I got to go to my friend Jake's house for our first sleep over together!

                             

We had brisket for dinner, yum!

                            

                           

Then we got to make chocolate chip cookies!!! It was super fun! I had a great day and a fun night!

                             

                            

                           

 This morning we had to get out of the house for Miss Ana to come clean so Mama took us to Tastee Diner for breakfast!!

 

                             

We were so happy! The pancakes at the diner are not to be missed. WOW!

                            

And the giant waffle and the bacon were delicious as well!

   

And after breakfast you know we had to go get a car wash!!

   

   

And then we got to see a train crossing at Seminary Road for the first time in years!

                             

Later we stopped at Miss Amy's house so we could pick some of her jalepenos! It was fun to pick them and boy did she have a lot. They looked great!

                             

                            

                            

This little guy came with a hitchiker!

                             

After dinner we got to finally eat the tiramisu ice cream cake that we helped Mama make! It was super yummy and it sure did taste good! Yay!

                             

                            

Today I convinced Mama to let me try a science experiment that I saw online... 

                           

                              

You add food coloring to a bowl of milk. Then you add a small dab of dish soap and...

                            

...POOF! The whole thing expands and spreads and combines. It was very cool. But very quick!

                             

                              

Then I added more food coloring and mixed it up just to see how it would look. It was pretty cool!

                             

                             

Later we headed to Tata Orly and Uncle Frederic's house to swim and hang out and see family that we haven't seen in about 2 years!!! How has it been 2 years?!

   

We had a blast swimming, even with the crazy dogs! The dogs had more fun than all of us!

                             

Then the skies opened up and it started storming very heavily so we had to head inside to eat.

                           

I was so excited!

                               

   

                              

It was fun and delicious and it was great to see our family!

   

                              

                             

On the way home we drove right by Nana and Papi's road so we decided to stop in and say hello! 

   

It was a great surprise for all of us! We were so happy to see everyone!

   

                             

                             

It was a great night! Hooray for family and summer nights!
