I finally got a chance to go to Pennsylvania to see my East Coast family. I spent a year with the Francis family as their nanny. We've done our best to keep in touch through the years. I love these two girls, Abby and Allie. And I loved going out there to see them.

Leah slept on an air mattress on the floor, and she rolled and rolled all night long. This is how I found her in the morning. I think that she is going to have a hard time staying on a big girl bed.

Leah loved Hershey's Chocolate world. Just the thought of a Chocolate World was exciting!

We went to this cute little amusement park, Dutch Wonderland. It's made for little kids. Leah loved the rides. She was even brave enough to ride with her hands in the air.


We visited the Amish area, and toured an Amish house. Leah loved the farm and the goats.

Man! I can't believe how big these girls have gotten. Abby was Leah's age when I moved out with them, and Allie was just a baby. I love their parents, Dennis and Leslie. I feel completely at home in their beautiful house. P.A. is a beautiful state. It was great to visit them. Although, Leah did great on the long airplane rides, I don't think that going on an airplane with a two year old is something I'm going to do anytime soon!

Thanks so much to my favorite Francis family for
bringing us out there, and thanks to my mommy who came out with me to help me out on the plane! We had a fantastic time!!
