River trip over Easter Break








We enjoyed a few days at the river over Easter vacation...Andrew, Claire and Cindy joined us. The kids all had a great time exploring and just being together. They kayaked, rode dirt bikes, snail hunted, built mud castles, caught some of the biggest fish I have ever seen come out of that river in my whole life, watched bald eagles and much more! We had a nice dinner out in Kilmarnock at Anna's Pizzaria.

Gunston Hall Plantation




The students in Evan's 4th grade class were all assigned a Virginia Plantation home to research and make a replica of.
Evan had Gunston Hall, located in Mason Neck, VA. This was the home of George Mason. He learned a lot about the home as well as the original owner and would like to visit the plantation this summer. He worked very hard on building his replica and was very proud of the finished product.





































Finley and Jax







Here are Fin and Jax playing in the yard...they are best buddies!

Curlt hair



Anna wanted curly hair so she slept in foam curlers and voila... she has curly hair!

Girl Scout International Fair




Anna and I had the pleasure of attending this year's Girl Scout International Fair at the Rockingham County Fairgrounds. What fun we had learning about different countries around the world. Her troop represented India and did a great job with their booth.
Items were sold at each booth for a dime a piece.
