Wild fun in VA Beach!!


Such a wonderful week! A visit to the children's museum kicked off the festivities!

Complete w/ mini bank, dental clinic and here a grocery store for little people. The kids had a ball!!
The older and wiser more experienced Alexander directed the little one's in wall building.
What an awesome place for a BIG 5 yr old to have a hay day!? He got the board between the blocks on the first try!!!



Mi-Mi was all into getting the kids into the fun!

the ASPCA had an exhibit. Adorable, with flowers and pictures of cats and dogs all in the gazebo. A little table and chairs with books was too much for the Bit to resist. It was one of her favorite places in the whole museum. All the little girls flocked to the sweet play area and before long, the little ladies man Hamilton wanted in on the action. Smart man! These two were very smitten w/ mr. handsom pants coming to read with them. Sue, I don't think you ever saw him over here.
Eventually just tweedle dee and tweedle dum took over the joint. :)



The fire truck was a big hit with all the kids, only me and Sue wanted to stop for a photo, not a big idea w/ the little ones as you can see!
These two were ready to patrol the highways.
Abigail LOVED the half a bus sticking out of the wall. She was all about driving like a big girl!




Again, another photo op that Sue and I pushed for that the kids just didn't want to do.
Abigail could not have been more smitten with her sweet cousin Hammy! She asked for him all week long pointing for him if he left her sight "baby???" like she was so mature and older in her 4 mo more along then him. He got used to her smooches and squeezes by the end of the week. Bri and me are just a huggin touching smoochin kinda family so Abigail thought naturally that's just what you do when you love someone!!
Since this one'll be on the world wide web I'll post the modest picture and protect their baby business. But they were too stupid cute in the tub together. They're going to KILL us later!!! Who cares, they had a ball! Ok, got a little out of order, here are some more shots of the children's museum. Abigail was so amazed at the giant clock in the front opening. We spent A LOT of time there. :)












we all had to try on the kevlar hat!











Sweet Aunt Sue was showing Abigail where the baby was and letting her feel it move. She was a little confused but what a sweet bonding moment
Cake of ice cream sandwiches and caramel w/ dinosaurs on top was delicious Mi-Mi!! Well done!!1

Sloppy Joe's all around, per request of the birthday king!







The birthday king!
This was one of the few times they weren't battling over who got the phone.
Susan has, with out a doubt the coolest broom I have ever seen!! She said she found it at TJMax and it helps her like sweeping better. Some one else likes it too!








We had such a great time this week visiting my sister Sue and her sweet wild family! Mom and me and the Bit headed out Tuesday morning so we could celebrate Alexander's 5th birthday with them. We were welcomed with screams and squeaks upon arrival. Susan is as pregnant as she can be but looking absolutely beautiful and glowing all over with her third little monkey on the way next month.The kids absolutely wore out their Mi-Mi but she loved every minute of it.
