And Another fun day! Apple and I met Lexi and Lis at the Splash park close to us. At first, Apple was nervous about the high fountains of water….but soon, all fear was forgotten, and he ran around having the time of his life. It was threatening rain all day, but we lucked out and…

Awesome Aquarium with Andrea
The first thing I’ll say is today was my most pleasant drive to and from Baltimore EVER. Maybe it was because I had my sister along with me, or maybe I’m FINALLY learning where to go and how to drive in Baltimore! We decided to make one last trip to the Aquarium before our family…
Kate’s birthday
We helped cute Kate celebrate her 2nd birthday this afternoon. As soon as we got to Kate’s pool, the little kids lined up on the edge. I tried to rush into the pool to take a picture, but of course, I wasn’t quite fast enough and the kids had already started to move. Dontcha just…
more pool fun
We made a quick trip to the pool today with “Baby Lexi,” as Apple affectionately refers to his friend. Apple had fun with a friend in the pool. “Here, Lexi, you can share my new orange noodle.” (splash)“Mmmm….thanks, Apple! Looks tasty!”“Hey, Lexi, I like your floaty. Wanna trade?”“How YOU doin’?”Fun times
Ketchup
Twizzler has loved ketchup for a LONG time. We have given up telling him, “That’s too much ketchup! You don’t need that much ketchup!” because he REALLY does eat THAT much. He loves it. How many 7 year olds know the benefits of lycopene (or even know what it is)? Yeah, while he’s eating ketchup…
Sprayground, VA
Last week, we bombarded my sister’s house for the day. It was a HOT one, so we took the kids out for a quick stop at Wendy’s (everyone got a Frosty) and then for some cool play at the Sprayground. Everyone (even the older kids) had a good time (although Noodle and Kiwi purposely avoided…
Memory Tag
My friend, Anie, (who I miss terribly!) had this on her blog, and I thought it was a fun enough idea to re-post on my blog. Here’s the deal: 1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn’t matter if you knew me a little or…
Jamestown Settlement
Our last stop on Williamsburg before heading back home was the Jamestown Settlement. What an amazing place for kids…and adults! It was already sprinkling when we got there, and so we rushed through the outdoor stuff just a little bit, but everyone was enthralled by the hands-on history! Taco and I spent at least 20…
Busch Gardens (can we go back next week?)
On our second day in Williamsburg, we went to Busch Gardens. Wow! SO much fun! This first picture is my favorite from the whole day. We had about 4 hours of terrible thunderstorms right in the middle of the day, and so most of the rides were closed. The storm started just after PB, Kiwi,…
Williamsburg
We’re back from our Williamsburg vacation! We drove down to Williamsburg with my mom, sister, and niece. We had two very full cars, but we made it! Our hotel was within walking distance of Colonial Williamsburg, so after unpacking the cars, we walked across the street for some sight seeing and a Colonial dinner. We…
