Our first day together was celebrating Maddison and Eliza's birthday (joint birthday party).
The second day Eliza found a toad and Ali caught it. The kids spent the rest of the day playing with the toad, holding the toad, and building a jumping arena for the toad. Yes, they knew they had to let it go at the pond, but not before Ali and Savannah could show it off to their Mom.
The third day was spent at the beach. It felt like a perfect day for the beach, a bit overcast and not too hot.
The water was cool and the day was warm, a perfect mix ...
except for the jelly fish.
There were hundreds of jelly fish in the ocean. Each time the waves came in 4 - 5 jelly fish were left on the beach. When the kids weren't waiting for Steve to catch a jelly fish out of the ocean, they were asking him to scoop them off the beach and throw them back in. By the end of the day the girls were scooping them up and tossing them in.
When they weren't pre-occupied with the jelly fish they searched for crabs. The first one was found as soon as we arrived, but there was much digging in search of more.
And then of course, there was the greatest joy of just lounging around.
The fourth day we spent in Williamsburg.
It was hot but the kids were able to find some fun games to play.
The fifth day we spent in Monticello, touring the grounds. By now we were getting tired, and it was soon time to go home.

This mom/Nana is prejudice but I feel we are blessed to have the best family ever.
Thanks for posting the pictures and sharing the adventures. It looks like it was a perfect weekend spent with cousins. The jelly fish and crab looked scary but the toad sounded like awesome fun.
Williamsburg looked like a good time as usual as did going to Monticello. The history back there is amazing.
Well we would love to lounge in the ocean and feel the waves with all of you, Maybe next spring! It looks like an amazing weekend and we love you!
CUTE pictures! Especially love the one from behind of the 4 girls sitting in the water! What a fun weekend - Wish we could have been there!
You guys have too much fun! I am guessing that you are moving to Idaho, then? The week-long across the country gave me a hint :). I haven't heard from you for awhile, but I hope all is well! Good luck on your drive!
