State Park & Bethy's Birthday

Last week we had a field trip to York River State Park with a big group for a guided hike to learn about the ecosystem and have a picnic lunch on the river. Then this past weekend we got to celebrate Bethany's FOURTH birthday!
Old Bogey is getting slower and showing his age. There's never been a sweeter pup with kids.

The outfit, the expression, everything.
We read Sadako last week and folded paper cranes while learning a little about Japanese culture.

Ranger John was a great guide to have with a group full of kids!

We saw two non-venomous snakes & two turtles. The snakes were very still & let the kids walk right up to them because they were about to shed their skin.

Hannie looking so old!

Lunch with friends on the York River

Baby turtle!

Bubs got to ride in the backpack and I was extremely strong and fit - oops - I mean tired and sweaty.

Hailey came to surprise Bethany and the girls were SO excited to see her again.

Snugglin' with Pop!

Baby John isn't a baby anymore! He's toddling all over the place, and he and Than looked like twins in their little shirts.

Sweet friends



Bethy decided to change into her swimsuit for some odd 3-year-old reason :)


Yummy!

Our darlin' curly girl... we love you, your smile, your curiosity & mischief, your style, and your affectionate snuggly personality! You bless us every day!

We were so glad the Ackers could come too!

Waiting ever-so-patiently for some mac and cheese

It wouldn't be complete without a Pop story

Tickle time

Beautiful Bethany!
