Sometimes, no matter what is going on at home, you need to get away.
Sometimes, commitments at home need to be put on hold, because you need to get away.
Sometimes, heading north to enjoy God's Creation, is the perfect way - to get away.
We drove about 3 hours this past weekend, for some very much needed time away. Time away from home, time away from work, time away from the 'everyday.'
No phone, no cable, no internet - just the mountains of Pennsylvania and a family of five who love spending time with each other!

We played in the creek, fished, skipped rocks, started campfires, enjoyed the changing colors on the mountains, rode ponies at a local fair, ate ice cream for lunch, pet alpacas, played Sequence for Kids a lot, blew bubbles, sang, laughed, stayed up late, woke up early - T set up his tree stand and retrieved the stand 2 days later never having gone into the woods to archery hunt (too foggy and HOT).
It was a much needed get away for Daddy from work and for all of us to enjoy time with him!!
I hope each of you had wonderful weekend!
We have our local "farm show" this week and I hope to get some pictures up of that as well!

You are a BLESSED woman, FOR SURE!!!. What a great getaway. Did you camp? How did you know where to go? One of my best friends lives in Lancaster County. Dh and I got to go there in April. It was gorgeous. I loved all the Amish food. I want to do more stuff like that with my clan. Thanks for sharing.
We stayed in a cabin that belongs to family. My hubby's family has been hunting/visiting in this area for almost 30 years, so it is very familiar to us.
Looks and sounds like you had a wonderful time. You are so right..it is so good to get away from everthing....phone, tv, computer, everything. The pictures are great.
So glad you enjoyed your family time together.
Sounds blissful! There is nothing I would rather do than spend time with my family and it sounds like you feel the same. I am so glad you guys had the chance to get away and just enjoy each other.
I know you made some wonderful memories on this little getaway trip1
Wonderful pictures--of the beautiful family and the gorgeous scenery
Thank you for sharing with those of us who didn't get away this week! :-)
Awww, what beautiful pictures! Reminds me of when we just *get away* and go back t Arkansas. Living the simple life is so good for the soul. I'm so glad y'all were able to pack up and head out for a few days!
We drove about 50 miles to the "big city" to buy some craft supplies. Does that count as a get-away?
that sounds WONDERFUL!!!
sounds like you guys had a great time!! HOT you say....hmmm we wish it was here...we're getting down to just a few degrees above freezing at night..brrr...Glad you had such a nice time with your family! =)It's beautiful scenery there.
So glad you were able to get away just the 5 of you. So important!! We all get too caught up with all the things, stuff and responsibilities of life. Breaks are necessities!!

This looks like a GREAT time! I love family time...away from everything and just enjoying being together. I'm so glad you were able to get away! :)
Looks like a great, relaxing weekend. Ron and I were just saying it's probably very pretty at the cabin right now. We miss going there.....................

Looks like you had a fabulous time! :) I'm ready for a campfire!
makes me want to visit the cool crisp fall of the north east US.... time away is good for all!
How fun!!! I was hoping to get one more weekend away just the 4 of us but the weekends are all filling up now. Glad you had a great time. Great memories for your kids as well!!!
What a neat thing to do! It will keep you guys close!

i love the picture of you and the kids...we need to see more of momma roar:0)
Beautiful pictures! So glad you got away.:)
What a wonderful get-away. I'm in need of one of those, myself. It was nice to see the changing leaves in your photo...ours here are still green.
I told Dave it was one of those times I wished we could have just gotten in the car and taken the kids for you overnight. Looks like you did just fine with the whole family. Family getaways make some great memories :)
Yes, MommaRoar, we need to see more of you. I almost didn't know you without your white shirt, hehe.
Oh gorgeous! We love going north, my sister has some land up in the northern part of the state...it's so beautiful there, especially this time of year. Glad you were able to get away and enjoy your time together. Heading to the fair?
looks absolutely wonderful! And I am struggling with envy looking at all those beautiful fall colors!
It is nice to be able to see them in pictures, especially on your blog.
Glad you had such a good time.
I'm inspired and refreshed just listening to your account of your time together. Gorgeous photos, too!
WOW!! What an awesome weekend. Yours is the best I've heard so far!! I'm glad you got the opportunity to get away!

I know exactly what you mean by needing to get away since we just skipped out on life ourselves (I just posted pix on my blog too). I would love to go camping too but I am afraid of the POISON IVY.
