Tahoe

We had such a blast in Tahoe! It almost, almost makes me wish I lived in Cali again. Well, Tahoe, Cali! It is such a beautiful place. Probably one of my favorite places of all time.
This is Emerald Bay. It's a little cove off of the lake and a million years ago an old wealthy woman bought 28 acres of it and built a 'mansion' that is still standing there. You too can visit it if you want to walk 1 mile down hill and then 1 mile STRAIGHT back up.

Unfortunately, neither Rob or I ever did scouts so we accidentally passed where we were supposed to be and ended up walking an extra mile around the bay and then of course an extra mile back to see:

You can see here how impressed I was. :) We did the math, and realized our house is older than this one!

It was actually a really nice walk (minus the uphill section) and a beautiful day for it.

It was a great time! If you're ever offered a chance to go- take it!!

Happy Birthday Papaw Waaayne!

We hope you have a great day and we'll see you guys tomorrow!

AEOT

Last night at church we went to see a group of children from Uganda that were on tour in the US. It was Henry's first experience sitting in this new auditorium and I wasn't sure how he would do. He has seen Maelie's Spring Show and Summer Spectacular so I knew he had the capability of sitting and watching, but I just didn't know if he would want to. Boy did he surprise me!! He LOVED watching these kids sing and dance! At one point they went off stage to get water and Henry started calling out "Priends! Priends! Ere you go?!" It was so cute!
At one point they encouraged who ever wanted to to join them on stage and learn a dance. Henry was all for it so Dad took him up there to dance with his new priends.

Once he came and sat back down to watch the rest of the program he kept saying "Mama I cappin! I cappin!" We all had a great time getting to see the kids and getting to know more about the AEOT program. If they ever make it back here we will definitely being going again!

Catching up!

This is Henry eating pasta last night at the Macaroni Grille. He LOVED it!

Rob can't catch a break (and doesn't want to!) anymore! All day long Henry chases him around the house saying "I play G Joe with Daddeee!" Rob had no idea what he was wishing for when he said he wanted a son to share his GI Joes with!!

Henry is so funny climbing up the stairs! He looks like a little monkey!

This is our first trip to Chipotle since Rob's been home. It is Rob's FAVORITE food so he was pretty excited... Until Henry asked to sit next to him and rubbed his little black bean covered face all over Rob's khaki shorts! I forget that Rob hasn't seen the monster really eat since he kicked the bottle! Sorry about that!

I've been a blog slacker this week, and I know it. I promise to do better soon...

Fun at the Fair!

About a week ago we took a trip to the Maryland State Fair! It was crowded, and loud, and everything a fair should be!!

Daddy helped Henry with his first ever carnival game! It was pretty exciting, especially when they won a tiny blue stuffed dinosaur! Henry thought that was such a great treat.

There were several animals there for Henry to talk to and he wanted to see them all!

From the Porch

This evening we spent some time out on the porch letting Henry and Ollie play in the yard.

Everyone's all smiles now that Dad's home!

We bought these great rockers for the porch this weekend and Rob finished putting all of them together last night. It was such a fun idea! It's great to be able to hang out and watch Henry explore!
