Waterless Baby

 Earlier in the week I put River in this adorable swim suit, only to have her sit in the shade and not touch a drop of water. The smiles she caused made it completely worth it.

Evening Jaunt

We took a quick trip to a nearby creek yesterday. The river was low enough that Tanner could take the boys in and teach them how to fly fish. 

Such a beautiful place. I could go there again and again. We hope you all are enjoying the last few summer weeks!

Going Green, Sort of

 When Liam woke up this morning he picked out this total green camo outfit. He wanted to paint all of his skin green, and got all excited when I confirmed that his eyes were indeed green as well. 

For family night we visited this huge park where a creek runs through. When we got to the park, we realized Liam's earlier clothing idea made a nice evening of, "Where did Liam go?" asked over and over and over and over- well, you can see what I mean:

Julian tried to play a "where is Julian?" game, but the bright yellow hair and Hulk shirt was a dead giveaway.

Here's a River fix for you friends and family. We are loving her to pieces for you.

Firecracker

We didn't catch the fireworks this year, but since we had our own little firecracker, it didn't really matter :) We hope you all had an excellent holiday!

We Be Trippin'

Thanks to our family we were able to leave the boys and take a trip to our nation's capital. Before the trip, I was anxious to get on the flight. We told the baggage workers where we were going, and they recommended we take some fire arms with us. Yikes. 

Here's a few highlights:

The sculpture garden; it was unique and interesting. I bet you didn't know D.C. loves themselves some good potato sack racing.

This art exhibit was in a museum. I thought of Twizzler Pull and Peels the whole time. Yes, I can tell you how much they run at our local grocery store any day of the week!

River's a little jumpy and usually feels like she's falling, hence this large Air and Space Museum was a little grand for little mis 22 inches to take in.

This was also an exhibit in a museum. I felt bad for the guard that had to stand in the room guarding the lit fence all day, and Tanner felt bad that money was going towards the man to guard the lit fence all day :) Check out River's neon shirt!

Ahhh, tourists. After walking miles we were pretty jealous of them. Long live the Segway!

 We learned there are some cool neighborhoods just outside of the capital, and Tanner took me on a date to check things out. Before we left Tanner kept asking total strangers to watch little River (and with the most serious face too). Can you believe we didn't get any takers?!

Touchdown! 

Abe was on of the best parts for me. The other, was being along side my sweety and spending some serious quality time together for almost a whole week. 

Now that's monumental.
