Moving on...
Indoor activities- imagination is ageless- so we create games out of silly things! No- this isn't just my thrifty ideology, although now that I've mentioned it!
Empty Plastic Bottle Bowling
Sophi loves to help clean, even as I type she is attempting to clean crayons off the door, so quickly applied by little sister Everli!
Here is the best little mess maker Everli...
Come rain or shine they love playing under the umbrella.
After church shenanigans.
Good weather=paint weather
Having Grannie and Papa and Auntie Grace come out from Arizona was a great part of the summer. Yes the weather was amazing, the greenery was dreamy and most importantly we had tons of fun!
We enjoyed meals out, afternoons enjoying the beautiful days and a lot of laughing!
In July my grandpa had passed away- it was a nice relief to be only 7 hours away from my Uncle Joe and Aunt Deb- in Pennsylvania. We ended up enjoying 3 full days of family! Cousins, some we had only met 1-2 times and some, never. We stayed up late laughing and playing games! My brother and cousin Jesse and I grew up close and had some funny memories to relive. Its an amazing thing to be family and celebrate!

Snack time and a beautiful stop on our way home |
These pictures were taken as we entered back into Virginia, almost as if time stood still |
We seem as parents seem to journey to parks and zoos, really any family friendly places... and this little gem is close to our house and is a bargain :)
We crammed a lot in the summer and enjoyed family time as much as we could! I love the ability to photograph and post our adventures, it seems the good feeling and emotion comes to life when looking at the photos- oh how I love technology! As usual stay tuned....
