VA Trip

We had our second little vacation of the summer down at Shenandoah Crossing, birthday compliments of Grandma Melody & Grandpa Jeff and we had a great time. Vacations are definitely different these days with 2 naps, 3 meals, 2 snacks and 4 bottle feedings to work around but that's why going here was such a perfect spot. We had a 2 bedroom cabin so Max had his own room and there is so much to do there that we never even left. Plus my aunt and uncle who live in Richmond also have their time share there so they were there and my mom came down some of the time to stay with them so we got to visit with them for some meals and pool time. And the Browns came out Friday for a while because they were in Charlottesville for a camping trip so Grandma Melody also stayed with us Friday night (poor thing had to sleep in the couch since Prince Max had his own room!). So we had some fun visitors too. They also just built a whole new pool area which was really fun. Unfortunately Max wasn't a huge fan of the boat because it was just a Jon boat so he had to wear the life vest and his tolerance wasn't too high when we tried to do some fishing (we're going through a moody month) but it was nice to juts relax and its truly a vacation for me to have a dishwasher:)

Max loved to play in these fountains at the new pool:

There were 30 seconds of a smile, then we docked and Max and mom got off so daddy could fish in peace!Dad brining it in....

Saturday morning Nate went fishing with Josh and his brother at a secret fishing hole in Charlottesville.... Nate doesn't usually have the best of luck fishing but this truly was a sure thing (they were nervous because they kept saying how great of fishing it was but didn't want Nate to come up empty handed). Needless to say, he had a GREAT time!

On the way back we stopped at Aunt Ellie's for her big birthday and spent the night. Max always has fun playing with his cousins and we had a nice afternoon at the playground!
