The children were able to spend a few days with my parents, which was so fantastic for all of us. The kids enjoyed mini-golfing, a 10-mile bike ride, fishing, and playing in the basement of their new house. We are so grateful for the great relationship they have with my parents.
Joshua and I were so thankful to have some time to ourselves. While they were away, we enjoyed a morning of tennis, a hike at Valley Forge, dinner at an outdoor restaurant, a bike ride, several dog walks, and indoor rock climbing at the gym. We happily crammed in as many sports as we could think of into our weekend because, while I love playing with the children, it’s such a treat to play at an “adult pace” sometimes. We also enjoyed puttering around a quiet house. 
Now we are all home again. August is always a whirlwind of activities and preparation for the upcoming school year. I'm hoping that we can still find time to enjoy the last few weeks with some climbing, sailing, standup paddleboarding, and long bike rides as a family. Here's an image of James sailing/relaxing at Marsh Creek a few weekends ago:
