Pennsylvania trip

Inside a Amish Quilt shop

Amish Farm

Amusement park

A few days ago Mr and Mrs Trickett took us down to Pennsylvania, Mum had been wanting to go down and see the Amish. Dad was going to Colorado for a week for study, so it worked out well to go. It was a 6 hour drive down there. We went to the Heresy Chocolate factory and the Hersey Amusement park. We also got a free tour with the Camping ground we stayed at so we got to see Amish farms and and met some amish at the quilt shops.

His Mansion

Taking a well need rest after working in the hot sun for hours.

Working in the garden

For a few days the we went up to New Hampshire to help out at a ministry for people struggling with addictions, we went up there to help out. We stayed there for 2 days, we worked in the Gardens, cleaned windows, cleared land, and more. It was amazing to see their minstry and everything they are doing. We meet some amazing people that have overcome so much.

It was such a blessing to be part of it for a few days.

Yankee candle

We went to a large candle store. We had been there before in 2007 and had enjoyed it so much that we wanted to back again.

Family

4th July

American candy (lollys) that Paul and John got heaps of!

4th July parades

Looks like its time for me to update the blog again. Life has been pretty busy with trips so its hard to find time.

For 4th of July we went to a few parades in the morning with the Tricketts. The boys collected lots of Candy, then we went to the Tricketts and had a lovely meal. After that we watch a movie and had blueberry pie. All in all it was a lovely day!

Inside the ship, the beds were very narrow.

The Mayflower 2 ship, this is very similar to original Mayflower.

Fun at the Beach

weather

The first day we got here the weather was lovely and warm. I am have just got back from a missions trip see blog, Hope Kiwi so it was lovely and warm for me since i had got used to the heat in Asia, but the rest of the family had just come from winter so for them it was sooo hot! Then all of a sudden it went so cold. We were putting lots more blankets on. Its funny how fast the weather can change here.

After 2 and half years...

After two and a half years we are back in the USA.

Its crazy to think that it has been that long.

We arrived in the CT, USA on the 7th of June. Mrs Trickett picked us up from the New York airport and we drove about 3 hours to the House we have rented for the Summer.
