In the beginning of July Jeremy, Isabelle and I flew to New York for 9 days. Our first stop was Albany where we stayed a few days with my brother Thomas, his wife Elise, and their two kids Thomas and Leah. We had such a great time just hanging out with them. It was SOO hot up their, so we spent a lot of time at their local pool and in the baby pool in the backyard. For July 4th we went to Elise's parents' lake house to barbecue and play in the lake. I love my brother and his family sooo much and wish we could spend more time with them. However, I'll take what I can get, and we really enjoyed our visit with them. The kids got along real well and had so much fun playing together. From there, we went to my parents' house for a few days. We hung out at the house, went out to eat, and did some shopping. One day, Isabelle stayed home with my mom, and Jeremy, my dad, and I went to West Point and did a bus tour. In all the years I lived up there, I've visited West Point, but never did the tour. It was really interesting, and it was a beautiful day. Our last day in New York, we drove down to Long Island to go to my friend Danielle's baby shower. She's expecting her first baby at the end of August. My good friends Casey and Danielle were there as well. We all talk often and see each other whenever we can, but it was so neat to have the four of us together. By the time we flew home, we were all completely exhausted. We had a wonderful time, but it was very busy with a lot of traveling. Isabelle was such a good girl, she slept well, ate well and was pretty well behaved the whole time. We're so thankful we had a safe, fun trip!
