Hurricane Matthew

Hurricane Matthew hit us much harder than was forecasted.  We were all safe but we did have flooding (though no long term damage) and lost power.  Everything shut down for a few days.  I took some pictures of the kids during the power outage as we lit everything with candles for bedtime.  Also I was able to get my music to play Taylor Swift with the battery so they were having a kitchen dance party.

Newport News Heritage Festival

We found this gem of a festival and had a great time!  It was worth the drive for all the unique cultural performances, crafts, and over 200 vendors.  One of my favorite parts was the woodworking area where they gave Brooke and Alex beautiful handmade tops for free.

 

Virginia Children’s Festival

This year we all went to the Children’s Festival at Town Point Park and had fun playing with all the child friendly events and the kids got to dance to Steve Songs.
