Still dealing with the ticks!

So we are still dealing with the ticks. Just yesterday morning before I got into the shower I found another tick on me. Of course I am freaking out and all worried about Lyme disease. I going to keep an eye on the bite spot for a few days. So far it only a little red and seems to be fading which hopefully is a good sign. We are gearing up for another weekend of hiking. We have plans to go up to Bushkill in the Poconos and I am feeling a little uneasy though. Hopefully we won't bring as many ticks home this time!

The Pine Barrens

Today Matt, I and the dogs hopped in the car and headed to the nearest place to go hiking. Which is the Pine Barrens in South Jersey. Matt did some research and found a great state park with lots of hiking trails. We all had a great time, we hiked about two miles around a lake. Tater and Tyson had so much fun running around off leash getting drinks from the lake. We were loving this place and talking about how we should come back often, that was until we did a tick check on us and the dogs. We probably pulled 20 to 30 ticks off all of us combined. It was very scary! After we dusted our self off of all the ticks we couldn't wait to get home to shower. But of course we had to stop at Stuart's Root beer stand for some cheese fries and shakes. I had a blueberry shake and Matt had a Strawberry, they were good. All and all we had a great day with our dogs.

Wow it's June already!

I can't believe that it is June already! Where did the month of May go? So for me the last couple of weeks of May just flew by for me. Again I have been staying busy with home improvements. We finally got our new roof, and I painted our wood paneling on the front of the house. Our house is slowly becoming one of the nicer houses on the block. We are currently in a holding pattern for our fence. We were hoping it would be up by now but still nothing. Luckily it hasn't been all work and no play for us. We did get to go down to Charlottesville for Memorial day weekend to visit Matt's parents. We had a great time they showed us around their cute town and Matt's Mom planned vegetarian meals for me. We even got to visit with Matt's friends Jenn and Jamie. To kick off the begin of the month we went to see James Taylor with our good friends Sue, Charlotte, and Maureen.
