Father’s Day
We love our Daddy! On Father’s Day this year we celebrated him in the morning before unfortunately he had to work. Alex got up early with me and helped cut the green onions for AJ’s omelet as he requested for a special breakfast. Then the kiddos gave AJ his Father’s Day book and presents. After that he go to relax before working. Happy Father’s Day!
You Guessed It…. Busch Gardens
We went to Busch Gardens and had a bunch of fun on this hot day! Alex rode a bunch of adult rides and Brooke rode her first adult roller coaster Invader as well as some adult rides by herself!
Family Kayaking
Today we went kayaking as a family. In the past we have had to take shifts with the kids because of developmental, safety, or space reasons, but now we can all go together. We kayaked up a part of the Elizabeth River ten minutes from our house that has a nice dry launch. We even had snacks and of course everyone’s water with us. The kids enjoyed going under a few docks and Brooke even paddled a bit. Unfortunately, my kayak does not have two seats so Alex got tired of sitting up and we transferred him to AJ’s kayak for the ride back. We paddled 2 miles round trip. It was a nice morning!
Cool Day in June
Today was 62 degrees and we enjoyed the cool weather by trying out a new park. The kids enjoyed a treat for being good at the tea shop and then monkeyed around. After the playground Brooke and Alex wanted to hike different trails. So we flipped a coin and ended up hiking Stumpy Lake. It was a nice break from the hot weather!
