I love finding new places to visit! This was a fun but hot Saturday outing. We will definitely be back!

 IT WAS SO PRETTY!!!

 Look what we found?? Baby geese!! Harrison found a big goose feather and was super excited once he realized the feather wasn't going to move when he touched it.

 Being silly in the gazebo

 Happy Girl!! Lame mommy's finger. Whoops.

 Harrison got super hot so I dumped some water on his head. Yeah I'm that kind of mom.

 Carter covered by her hat

Stopping for a drink 

BEACH!!!

Two weekends ago we went down to VA beach to hang out in a SWEET condo thanks to the AWESOME erin and dru wheeler .  The weather was a bit windy sat and cold sunday but we didn't care. It was Harrison's first time to visit the beach (although he had previously seen both the atlantic and pacific oceans) and he LOVED it.

ROAD TRIP!!! I was so proud of Harrison for being very newly potty trained and making the four hour trip with one pit stop to pee at panera and no accidents!!

 Check out our sweet bedroom daddy!!!

awwwww.......I can relax now :)

 Harrison checks out the waves

 WOW!

 He loved feeling the waves crashing all over and getting his feet stuck in the sand

 Alesa holds baby Carter and Harrison perfects his tongue sticking out skills

 such cute little friends

 Rainy day popcorn and movie

 And some more beach shots---

Oh how I love the fun of summer! Let the games begin :)
