Started the week off with a play date in the county with our buddies Mary, Mazie and Andrew. Loved being outside and catching up with them!! Then I tackled my first every road trip with the kids alone...drove 3.5 hours to Richmond to visit with daddy while he was on the road. The kids were so excited about staying in a hotel - Nora snuggled with momma in the big bed and Rad was so exhausted for the day's events.

Getting ready with daddy for work. Went with the cousins to a farm/petting zoo. Got to see buffalo, goats, cows, and lots of other animals. Then enjoying the afternoon with rooftop pool party.

Exploring a playground with the cousins in rural Richmond. Super fun and SUPER hot! Afternoon swimming again to cool off - Rad's new favorite place to sit in the stroller..at the very front.

Stopped off in the middle-of-no-where Virginia on the way home for some blackberry picking and sunflower picture taking. The kids had a blast and we had the entire pick-your-own field to ourselves! With this stop, a lunch/potty stop and crazy traffic...the trip took almost 5.5 hours. Doing that solo with 2 kids is not the top of my to-so list again anytime soon.

Lazy day at home recovering from yesterday's travel adventures. Bubble baths, playing with Dracula teeth, reading books to our buddies, making beanie baby trains and trying on all of sissy's necklaces and headbands before bed.

Casual Saturday at home while it rained. Long run on the treadmil before everyone woke up, taking EVERY drawer and shelf out of my fridge and deep cleaning it (nesting mode already). Brother in mommy's old dance costumes stacking pantry items and silly rides through the kitchen with sissy...you know - the usual.
July 30.
The weather finally allowed for us to get out! We took a walk for a family breakfast at the local diner - complete with both kiddos chowing down on jelly packets, played in two different parks, got icecream and enjoyed the sunshine.
