In September, things started to calm down a bit for us. School was back in full swing, travel slowed down, and we got into a rhythm. Of course, there was still plenty of fun to be had. Since our move back to Pennsylvania two years ago, so much of our memorable times are with family. One such occasion was over Labor Day weekend. Denise suggested that we all head over to Mt. Gretna since this was the last weekend that the Jigger Shop would be open. Mount Gretna is an adorable mountain vacation community, and the Jigger Shop is their fabulous ice cream shop.

We also spent the weekend of September 15th at the beach. This weekend was particularly nice because my Saling grandparents were there as well as my aunts, uncles and several cousins from that side of the family. It was quite breezy, but we still managed to spend some time on the beach. Of course the beach is Drew's favorite place to be. He didn't care that it was a little chilly and breezy, he just went about doing his thing. Mostly, his thing was digging. And digging. Oh, and did I mention digging? The funniest thing about it was that he never put the shovel in the sand in the same place twice. He would dig, toss the sand in the air, shift over about a foot or so, and then dig again. Here are some photos of his digging escapades.
We finished off the month with a wonderful family dinner at Mom Keener's. She makes incredible chicken pot pie, and we were more than happy to gather together to eat and hang out together. We even had a little adventure! Mom's van needed a new tire, and Keener Tire Service (originally owned by Linc Keener, Ryan's grandfather) is right around the corner, or across the corn field, depending on how you look at it. We decided to pile in the van to take it over to Keener Tire Service and then walk back. Instead of taking the road to the shop, we took the lane. And the walk back was a lovely autumn evening stroll. Check out our photos here.
So that was our September. Overall, a good month. What will October bring?
