Krenz Kuties: PA trip

We went to our property in PA for the long Memorial Day weekend. I had the intent to stay from Friday until Monday. That did not happen. Here's how it went. the 3 hour drive there was painless, the kids had so much fun the first day, the girls slept like angels the first night too. On Saturday, either Paul or I 4-wheeled with Bella the entire day and I even got Gwen to take a nap!
We took the kids in for a bath around 830 and good thing we did cuz we lost power at 900. If there is no electricity= no water pressure. Paul then informs me that when they loose power here in Cook's Forest, it is usually out for weeks!!! In the middle of the forest, it gets so dark you cannot even see the finger in front of your face. So Paul finally got Bella to fall asleep and Gwen on the other hand, was up the entire night talking to me. We don't have a crib there for her so I had to sleep in the bed with her. The power came back on at some point and all the lights we had on, came on, the washing machine resumed it's cycle. At some point in the night, Bella woke up Paul and said she had wet the bed and I somehow did not take enough pull-ups for her and no extra jammies (since we had a washing machine to use if needed) so he ended up wrapping her in a blanket naked and she went back to sleep. We got up the next day, ready to come home. So we cleaned, packed up, fed everyone breakfast, got the car packed to head home. We all get in the car (that has no working air) and the car is dead. Paul walked over to the one neighbor who we sort of knew and she was not home. By this point, Gwen is screaming uncontrollably (she was assumingly hot, tired, etc.) It took us an hour to flag someone down who would first of all stop, who 2nd, had jumper cables. Some nice man and his Dad stopped and jumped us. So we were finally on our way home. It was in the 80s with no air in the car. The dogs were panting uncontrollably and Gwen screamed the ENTIRE WAY HOME. Don't know why so by the time we got home, Paul and I were at our wit's end!

Gwen saw Bella squat and pee in the grass so she was pulling her pants/diaper down for over 2 hours and did not pee except for in her pants after she screamed until I took her diaper off of her!

Bella has graduated and is now driving the 4-wheeler (controlling the gas, brake and handlebars ) with us on the back. That is kind of hard for me to do....I don't like not having control.

Fishing in the Krenz pond

Cuddles loves swimming in the pond! can you see her tiny body in the water? Paul threw Minnie in and she completely went under and swam to the shore and ran the hell away!
