Day 81: Sunday Funday (Ava's Birthday)


We found ourselves with a free weekend before school started up, so I took the kids and a couple of their friends out to the mountains to celebrate Ava's birthday.

Started the day with horseback riding.
Played in the pond at the house during lunch time.


Took and afternoon hike to Upper Falls and found a cool sliding rock.






Ended the day with birthday cake! Happy 9th Birthday A-V-A!

Day 74-77: Legoland

Instead of driving the 1200 miles round trip, we opted to take the train from Fayetteville, NC to Winter Haven, FL.
Relaxing at the hotel pool after a long train ride.
Pretty much the first ones in line on Monday morning.
Project X: Their favorite coaster, I think they rode it a dozen times (in a row).
For Ryan: Daytona Motor Speedway (out of Legos)
Ava and her closest "Friends."
Gabe tearing up the water park.
Their booty.  You can trade Lego figures with any Legoland employee.  This was just as much fun as the rides.
The ride home.
