Biggest spider I have ever seen in a house!

This spider was found in my bathroom! My son thought it was one of my youngest sons fake bugs! Could you imagine if he would have touched it? Oh he would have needed to go to the hospital! I have never seen a wild spider so big in my entire life!

I have been doing LOTS of research on things to do in the eastern side of PA and also NJ

There is really A LOT to do! It would take me forever to post everything! So I'm Going to Pretty much quick post everything I find. 

Stuff I'm Personally interested in I will take more time on that Blog. Otherwise you will get a little bit of info for each thing then the website link for further information. 


I didn't know there was this much to do between Museums, Parks, Zoo's, ETC.


So I hope you find this all helpful in finding something to do during summer and even the winter months! It just wont be so detailed! 


Also if you have been somewhere that is in the Eastern side of PA that I don't have on here please tell me about it! Because my Husband and I just realized we wont be able to take a week beach vacation. Now we will only be able to take a few day trips and I would like to choose wisely! Thank you!! Cassie!

Change.org is a free online petition site PLEASE GO TO SIGN PETITION FOR CAYLEE"S LAW!!

CLICK HERE FOR WEBSITE!!! 

This is a subject very important to me, I know in the court of law Casey Anthony was found "Not Guilty". But in my mind she is GUILTY!

I believe this for more than just the evidence and her lawyers making her look like the victim in court. The ONLY and REAL victim here is the baby Caylee!! I feel Casey is GUILTY because as a "PARENT" as a "MOTHER" you should know where your children are! You can't tell me that she had no idea where little Caylee was!

Me as a mother, if I'm taking a nap and wake up my first instinct is to call my husband and see where my children and him are! That's my JOB! As a wife, mother, and person responsible for other people!

There definitely was no justice for baby Caylee! So us as a society have a responsibly to the children in our country!

So please go sign this petition-OVERVIEW Of the petition
Caylee's Law, contact your Senator and Representative: There should be a new Federal Law created called Caylee's Law that will make it a Federal offense for a parent or guardian to not notify law enforcement of a child going missing in a timely manner.

Let's keep another case like Caylee Anthony out of the courts!

PLEASE CLICK HERE OR MY TITLE TO SIGN THIS PETITION!!

These Pictures are from 2010, when we went up to Claws N Paws Animal Park. It was a very nice day, A long ride through the back roads of Pennsylvania, it was nice if you like that sort of thing. But when we got there it was nice, you start out in the gift shop. Then walk out to a little garden. Everything from there is pretty much up hill, the Stroller really didn't go good, because its hills, dirt, and tree roots. We walked around to see all the animals, we caught 2 shows one with a snake, and the other with a porky-pine. Then we went to the petting zoo with the Lambs, Deer, and Goats. They are crazy animals!! They try to jump on you and look at this picture to the left the thing couldn't have been hungry! But yet it still felt the need to try and steal food! *Laughing*!
Then we went to Dino Dig and there wasn't anything going on there so then we went sifting for gemstones. Then after that they where having a Turtle Town opening, also the feeding of the Lory Parrots! It was fun my children ages: 15, 14, 13, and 2 years all enjoyed it! So it really is a place for all ages! It was also an all day affair!

Over 120 kinds of animals! White Tiger, Black Panther, African Lion, Siberian Tiger, Cougar, Wallaby (Kangaroo), Black Bear, Buffalo, Camel, Birds of Prey, and much much more!!
