Family Fun

Last Monday the kids and I flew to Virginia to spend some time with my parents, sister, and niece (who had flown in from Nebraska). We had a great time!

Tuesday we went to the Virginia Safari park. Sam snuggled me on the way and I loved it.

We got to drive around and feed some animals from the car, which was really fun. I just have videos of that.

After the Safari Park, we stopped by Foamhenge - a full-scale replica of Stonehenge. I've wanted to see it for some time. I can now die happy.

Each day after a morning activity, we'd come home for naps and then hang out at the house the rest of the afternoon.

Wednesday we hit the Bounce and Play.

And Bodo's for lunch. Thursday we went to the splash pad. Sam loved it. Afton hung out at the park. She likes to be held in deep water, but she doesn't like to be splashed.

 Forgot I was in "manual." Overexposed, but still cute.

We then went to Chick-fil-a because Candice doesn't have one in Omaha. Then we went home for naps and after that, the kids raided Grandma's dress-up box. Sam tranformed himself into a vampire/magician/pirate.

We considered hiding his baton/maraca thing because he kept waving it in everyone's face.

At night we'd stay up and chat or watch the olympics. And one night we watched Mirror, Mirror.

Friday we went to a different splash pad.

Another stop at Bodo's. Later that night we walked up my parents' street to take pictures with the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains behind us.

Afton's really good at the Chris Farley face.

We had such a fun vacation. We also made girly hairthings, played w/ playdoh, I visited with old co-workers, and we went and got the best slurpees ever! Seriously so good. We don't have any 7-11's, so I had been wanting one forever. Did not disappoint.

The kids miss their G&G Cheney. We'll have to make it a yearly tradition!
