Lucy Eating Ice cream

Yet Another Parade

We went downtown tonight to see a parade. It was the Virginia International Tattoo Parade of Bands. There was a Scottish band with bagpipes, dancers and the Marine band as well. I liked the Marines the best and kept asking the other band to be quiet so they could play. Of course, I marched along with them and I could not wait to get home to tell Daddy all about it.

Olive Garden

We went to Olive Garden today for Miss Ashley's birthday. We needed a BIG table to fit 5 babies and RJ!

Nana's Visit

I was talking about it all week, Nana was coming to see me! Friday finally came and I tried to take a nap before she got here, but I was just too excited. She brought Lucy and I a surprise or two of course and then we headed to the park for the afternoon. We took a nice walk and looked at the geese. Then we went on the slides and swings. For dinner, we made pizza and ate it on the porch. Then we played outside until it started to get dark and I was a "dirty bum." On Saturday, it was really cloudy and would rain off and on, but we still went to the zoo. I had fun showing Nana all of the animals and liked riding the train with her as well. We also went to the gift shop at the end and I picked out a zoo truck, Lucy got a pink lion. Coming home, Mommy got super lost because the tunnel was closed, but Lucy and I got a great nap! We watched the Lion King that afternoon and then Mommy and Daddy went out to dinner. I think I had the most fun looking at pictures on Nana's camera. Then she taught me how to take pictures and I turned into a paparazzo! It will be sad to say goodbye tomorrow morning. But we will be back in New Jersey soon. Thank you again Nana. We love you!

Colin's Soccer Game

I got to watch Colin play soccer today! Watch out Aunt Kyle, he has some moves! Lucy and Joel liked hanging out together. I really liked at the end when the parents made a tunnel and the players ran through it. I told Mommy, when I get big, I am going to wear a green shirt and kick it in too! Go Colin, great game!

Lucy's First Beach Trip (when she can actually be awake for things)

I have been to Virginia Beach before. However, I was much too young to see anything, I slept the whole time. Anyway, today I was able to see the sea gulls, eat lunch on the boardwalk, sit in the sand, and run in the water with RJ and Mommy. We even stopped for some ice cream before we went home. I bet you are not surprised I ate every last bit!
