The best part of Pine Grove is that we know the area, know what we like, and can easily get into "vacation mode." Traditions include a park ranger talk (this year: lightning bugs), a movie at the R/C Carlisle Commons Movies 8 (this year: Into the Spiderverse), eating Al's Pizza the night we arrive, lots of bike rides and lake time, continuing on the Avengers coloring book, ice cream at the Pine Grove General Store, and playing games of Settlers of Catan and peanuts at night.
This year's new elements were a dung beetle along the path and a trip to the US Army War College History Museum, where James knew a surprising amount about tanks, his newest obsession due to the World of Tanks video game.
I'm so grateful for this time together as a family.
