First Day of School 2013

Lizzy (3rd grade), Ava (2nd grade), Casey (Kinder), and Gabe

P.S.  I was already called to the principal's office because Casey was not participating and talking back to his teachers.  I hope I can look back at this day and laugh, but right now I am mortified and furious.

Ava's 7th Birthday

Williamsburg

Checking out their room for the night

In the militia now- weapons practice

Where I should have left the boy for the weekend

Manual labor

Lunch break and random games

Lizzy playing us some tunes on a harpsichord

Getting the clay ready to make bricks. Ava didn't want to get dirty.

He never stops running- the whole weekend

Yorktown

A very rain day at Yorktown, staying dry with some inside activities

Taking the trolley to the battlefield

Four Knights on a cannon

Busch Gardens

She has the magic touch

Riding the park train

Tea cups

Aerial Tram

Horsing around

Get me off this baby ride



Lizzy was in tears before this ride. It turns out she like it. They rode it 7 times.

"That was so awesome" - Giant water ride

Jamestown

Fort James with Pocahontas

Ready to defend Fort James

Not quite as ready for battle



Where else would you expect to find the boy?

Stowaways on the Susan Constant

Crossing the James River on our Ferry Ride home

The End.

Master of Hide and Seek

I come downstairs and I just hear a little voice saying "Ma, Ma."  When I go into Elizabeth's and Ava's room there isn't anyone in there.  Finally, a little hand gives way his hiding place.
