This last week we had a family vacation.  We stayed home because it was easiest with Alex but did we dedicated our time to each other, having fun, and doing the things that we wanted to do as a family.  We did A LOT.  I have pictures of it all of course and a few of the kids and I at home playing while AJ was at work the week before I am going to throw in for good measure of Alex sitting up, and Brooke ‘mowing’ the lawn.  On our vacation we  went to an indoor trampoline park, went kayaking, hiking, AJ and I got a date night on the bay, we worked out as a family, went to Bergey’s farm and pet animals and had ice cream, had many days at the pool, went to the NBG and played around with their new frame exhibit and at the splash pad, picked blueberries, I made blueberry pie, ate hamburgers for a 4th of July cookout, went to the fireworks festival at Chesapeake City Park, and had park playtime!
