Well, we just returned from a GREAT trip to Virginia. It was so pretty and green (and humid... well only a few days were really humid). We had the best time visiting with family and friends. Get ready for a serious picture overload. And it's only the first 5 days worth (we were there for two weeks).
We left on July 1st. We flew out of Salt Lake City, stopping in Minneapolis, and finally arriving in Richmond, VA! This was Hayden's first time flying (and Bryson was so little last time we went, that he didn't remember). The kids LOVED the plane! On these slideshows, if you click right on it (you might have to click a couple of times) it will open it up bigger, and then if maximize that screen and you look on the right side, there will be a place where you can click on SLIDESHOW, and it will make it full screen.
July 2nd, we went over to Jared's Mom's old house. They are fixing it up to sell it. The kids had fun playing in the backyard for the last time, and then we headed over to her new house and the kids played basketball.
July 3rd we officially started the Family Reunion activities with a cookout at Rockwood Park. Everyone was there. We had great food, and took a walk, enjoying the beautiful scenery.
July 4th - INDEPENDENCE DAY! We started the day off early, with a flag ceremony and pancake breakfast at the church. Then we went to Dogwood Dell, where we spent much of the day playing on the playground. We got there early to save good seats for the concert and firework show later that night. It was nice and HOT, but then the festivities were almost cancelled when a thunderstorm came through. Thank goodness it passed by so we could enjoy a little cooler weather and stay for the show! We ate Kentucky Fried Chicken, and the fireworks were AWESOME!
July 5th - we went to Maymont park to take some family pictures. Tim and I took the pictures. I haven't downloaded the pictures he took yet... but here are some that I took. After family pictures, we went inside the Nature Center, where the kids had all kinds of fun things to do and see. Then we went outside for a little picnic.
Thanks for looking... I'll have more pictures in a couple of days!
