We had another great vacation at Shenandoah Crossing! We're so thankful for Nate's mom and sister for always letting us use their place because I don't think we'd be taking vacations otherwise! And its just the perfect place because there is so much to do there we don't even have to leave. Aliyah started teething again finally which made her rather grumpy at times and she didn't sleep so well. Max slept in the big bed and did great this trip so I figure we have another year or two of rough trips until they can both not be thrown off too much. With Ali still taking morning naps too it limits our free time but there is so much to do there we keep entertained. Of course Friday they broke records with the 102 degree heat so most of our free time was at the pools with a short trip to the stables and a few short fishing adventures.

Ali loved the fountains but not quite as much as Max does.

Picnic at the pool

Watching cartoons in the huge bed.

Trip to the stables

Aliyah got to ride Wendy this year, she loved it!

That face!

Max was brave enough this summer to ride her again too (was too scared last time).

Come back here

Took a trip out with daddy while Ali napped and of course got some new cars.

She can't help but play with them too.

Relaxing playing his Thomas memory and puzzle games.

Pot of water for the peanut.

Max caught a fish his first time but quickly lost interest. He had more fun playing with his colorful worms in his little tackle box.

Cheese:)

Ellie and family came out Sunday. Some of Josh's family also came, we had a full house for a short while and then some pool time.

Some cousins from both sides of their family.

Fun pool time with Uncle Josh.

And with Luke and Emma.
