Miles and I were fortunate enough to have the opportunity to drive to Pennsylvania this summer to visit our friends, the Swishers, and to celebrate Oma's 90th birthday with family and friends. Our first stop was State College, PA, where we stayed with the Swishers for several days. We had a terrific time!

We loaded up all the kids for ice cream at the Penn State Creamery:
Do these faces say "YUM!" or what?
Corene opted for the more sophisticated approach to eating ice cream.
Abigail gives a big smile for Uncle Brian back in Chicago.
Who could say no to this?
Next, we went to Oma's cottage in Mount Gretna, PA to pick her up and take her back to her home in Temple, PA, where the rest of the family was waiting for her (surprise, surprise)!
First, however, we had to swing by The Jigger Shop for some ice cream!
"The Jigger" is famous in Mount Gretna!
My dad and his brothers planned a big surprise party for Oma's 90th birthday. Pictured here is Uncle Scott as he prepares the 100+ guests for Oma's arrival.
