Here are more photos from my parent's trip to New Jersey. Hope you all enjoy!

Drew and I took my parents on a ferry ride to the Statue of Liberty. Drew helping me open my 30th birthday presents/cards
Spending my 30th birthday at the NJ shore. It was a gorgeous day!

The water was cold, but the sun was HOT! I think Drew and I were the only ones without sunburns that day!

Visitors to New Jersey Part 1

My parents were our first visitors to our new home in NJ. They arrived on Wednesday, June 9th and stayed till Father's Day. We did so many things that I won't be able to post about all of them. But here are a few photos and descriptions of things that we did in the first part of their trip. Drew misses them terribly now that they are back in IA (as do I, it was nice to have a few extra hands)!!

Taking many walks in the neighborhood
Going to DePiero's Farm to see the animals and eat lunch

Lake George in the Adirondacks

We spent the past weekend with friends at Lake George (a beautiful lake in the Adirondack Mountains about 3 1/2 hours north of here). Our friends from our small group on Sundays invited the entire small group up to their house on the lake. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL HOUSE! The kids had fun playing in the near 50 degree water, building sand castles, going canoeing, eating smores by the campfire and just playing together. The adults had fun relaxing, eating and playing games after the kids went to bed! It was a great time had by all! Here are some photos from the adventure.
