July 11 = Day 15

Synopsis:  23.3 miles driven; 0.5 hours on the road; Cobleskill, NY; Attended First Baptist Church in Cobleskill, NY; Celebrated Grandma Friend's birthday

We started the day by sleeping in - at least compared to our days on the road. We are staying at Grandma and Grandpa Friend's and Aunt Loey and Uncle Terri's house (they share one house). We left their house and went to Cousin Jerry and Alicia's house (BTW - all family relations are from the kids point of view) for breakfast. What a spread!

From there we headed into town (Cobleskill) and went to the First Baptist Church for Sunday services. It was a special morning for our family as we got to be there when the kids' first cousin once removed, Andrew Hughes, was being dedicated by Jerry and Alicia. He was great for the dedication while his sister, Danielle, was a little more enthusiastic!

After church, we returned home and surprised Grandma with a surprise birthday party (you'll have to ask her how old she is). She thought everyone was there to see us and celebrate Andrew's dedication but those things just lined up with our coming together for her birthday. Her two sons couldn't be there but all 5 of her daughters were. (Starting in the upper left and going clockwise: Linda, Lois, Louise, Lucy, Mother and Lisa)

After lunch, the kids enjoyed riding on cousin Jerry's ATV. They think we should get one for our yard...yeah right! A leisure day to regenerate us for returning to the road tomorrow.




Hotel Deal of the Day: One night at Grandma and Grandpa Friend's house  for $0 including time with cousins!
