CRAYOLA ROAD TRIP!

Megan was in for the weekend! So while we have done the Philly scene many times, we decided to do something new. What better to do on a beautiful day then road trip to the CRAYOLA FACTORY!! If you have kids ages 2-12, this place is amazing. They have workstations set up so kids can do crafts with all the different products that they have, you get free stuff, and the store at the end is teacher heaven! I got two lesson plan books. Meg wouldn't let me buy any more... Here are some of the highlighs:


This is the worlds largest crayon!

This was the wall as you walk into the store. It is all of the colors of crayons that there are.

Meggers with Red.

So fun! You get to be 5 again!

One of the work stations.

One of those mirror things where you adjust the light... Half Jillian/half snake.

The outside of the building. I was very excited by the falling crayons.

"ARE WE IN NY??!!"

"Apple?" " No thank you." " It's good." "Ok."

"Just go stand with the big red crayon..."

"We got it at...uh... dollar general"

"Put the clothes on the rack." "To try them on??" "Yes."

"What are you thinking about." "Your ice cream."

"You are not allowed to look at this wall."

"If you say gulliable really slow, it sounds like green peas"

Wow...

So, while cleaning the other day, I came across some old pictures. They range from REALLY old to a few years ago. There is an album with all of them on Facebook, but here are a few of my favorites:
This is me with the origional Puffy. (Does it look fimular now Steph or still no? Lol)

Me with Levi dog (age 5)

This was my 15th birthday party. On the top is Allie, and from left to right it goes : Lindsay, Carley, Me, Erin and Megan

Every year, Megan and I would get one of these done at Knobles Grove at her family reunion. This is just one of the many we have. I have no idea how old we were, but I am going to guess 14.

I found a bunch of other pictures too, but I wasn't sure if I would be able to scan them or not. Now that I know how, I am sure there will be more to follow.

"But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed." 2 Corinthians 4:7-9

Don't you love how whenever you need to hear a verse the most, it pops out at you?

Today I got to go shopping with J-Self. Amazing. She lives in TN, so I only get to see her at camp events, but today she was in Lancaster all day. I am on such a camp high today... I can't wait to get back.

And then, tonight, I get this e-mail. It is from Beshoy, my Egyptian boyfriend:

hi jillian , i love you to and i miss you so mushhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh , and i talked with mike to come back to makimee wood this summer and she make the paper for coming please pray for me because i miss all of my friend in makimee wood i need to see all every body in makimee wood and you firstly bshbosh

I realize it is a bit of jibberish, but he has the best heart. Here is Beshoy:

After today, I can't wait to get back to camp. Some of the best people in the world in one place. Wonderful.

I believe in pink, I believe laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing alot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girl's are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I believe in miracles. ~ Audrey Hepburn

I believe that I love this quote!

YAY!

So, this blog was started in order to keep up with friends and family. Hopefully it works. Xanga will still be there, but I think that is going to become more designated for keeping up with camp people (plus, I don't like the lay-out anymore, so what better reason to switch!) I hope this is helpful in keeping up with people! I love pictures, and I can guarantee that there will be a lot on here, so lets start now!


This was Me with El last weekend. I am totally in love with this kid, so you may see a lot of her! Megan and I at the Spice Girls concert... Awesome.
This was on the way to Susquehanna University with Erich. We had a great day
And this is because I basically love these two people.
