Hannah's Visit

Hannah and Jared came to visit us for a few days this summer because Jared had some training at a nearby town.  He brought Hannah with him so she could see the big apple and the days while he was in his meeting, Hannah got to hang out with me and Gemma. It was so fun getting to know Hannah better and to actually get out of the house and do something.

 Whenever Gemma got fussy at the changing table, Hanna would read her a book.  Gemma loved it!

 One of the days we went to the Crayola Factory.  Now when you hear the word "factory" you might assume that we  actually got to see crayons made.  There might have been a video for us to watch, but we couldn't fit in the crowded room with the stroller and Hannah didn't seem too interested in that part anyway. The Crayola Factory is a huge building with TONS of different activities that the kids can do with Crayola products and then you can purchase the cool items in their store at the end.

They had crayons that can write on a car and be wiped off.

Fun Mirrors that make us look skinny!

Gemma was so good the whole time.  She either slept or looked at her elephant.  We were there for at least four hours and she was so perfect!

Another day we went raspberry picking at one of the local farms so we could make raspberry freezer jam.  This activity was probably Hannah's least favorite because she forgot to spray herself with the bug spray and I think she was really worried about getting bitten by a bug. It was really hot and we were probably a few days too early for the best raspberries.  We went to Walmart afterwards to get supplies for the jam and there was a huge carton of raspberries that looked so perfect and it was even cheeper than the ones we picked!
