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…
Aunt Carol
On Saturday, we loaded up every seat in two cars and drove about an hour away to visit my dad’s sister. Before that, the kids made a nice big mess coloring our patio with wet chalk. :) After an amazing lunch and a visit to Carol’s work, we all headed over to Aunt Carol’s house….
Happy 4th of July!
We had a fun 4th of July! We started off at an early pancake breakfast at Church….The best part about the breakfast was seeing Grandma and Grandpa there! They had arrived in town the night before and so the breakfast was practically the first chance the kids had to see them. We were eager to…
Taking a walk…
My friend, Melissa, and I took our kids (well, her one and two of mine) on a walk today to practice using our 50mm lenses. The scenery was beautiful…so much so that my kids were distracted and wouldn’t sit still or smile for me. Lexi was much more cooperative for the camera (she couldn’t run…
The Aquarium!
I took the kids to the Baltimore Aquarium today. Our season pass expires in a month and I wanted to make it out there at least one last time. We brought some friends with us to add some spice. We had so much fun, despite getting lost on the way out of the city (I…
I’m so Blu-oo-oo…I’m so Blue, I don’t know what to do!
Anybody else know that song from Veggie Tales (Madame Blueberry)? I couldn’t help but sing it in my head after picking blueberries today with the kids and some of our friends. The blueberries this year were even better than last year. Yum! Amazing! But…it was HOT. I didn’t think it was so hot when we…
New Adventures
Life is never boring around here, even on a slow day. I admit, I’ve had an inkling that this was coming for quite some time now, and when the Stake Presidency called to meet with both me and PB, I knew what it was about. But I still wasn’t prepared for the roller coaster of…
More State Park fun!
This afternoon, we drove down to a State Park close to our house for a BBQ with some friends that will be moving soon. We had hot dogs and hamburgers, chips and soda, pasta salad and cookies. Apple left a bench-full of vanilla sandwich cookies stripped of their frosting middles… After dinner, we played at…
