On our way down to Va Beach we stopped at colonial Williamsburg for lunch. Here's Sky walking through the gardens. While the kids had a lot of fun, I don't think they were ready for the 93 degree weather. Little Sky's face was very flushed and she kept asking to be carried.
As long as she's following her brother, Sky will go anywhere with little regard to anyone else. Aiden on the other hand, loves it when Sky follows him. I often hear him say, "come on, Sky" when he notices she's falling behind.
"Aiden, where are you?", calls Sky.
We met this bull on one of the side streets of Williamsburg. He was very nice and let us pet him, feed him, and pose with him. I actually think he's a trained actor-bull.
This was also Bobba and Grandma's first visit to Williamsburg so they enjoyed themselves too.
Aiden contemplating a rodeo career.
"So I ride bulls for a living, big deal."
Bulls eye!
Having come eye-to-eye with the bull, Aiden soothed the beast and so that he could later climb on to his back for a ride.
The first thing Sky noticed about the horse was it's poop.
"Horsey poopy on the ground, that funny!"
Adam and Aiden in trouble again.
Sky thinking, "Ummm, no Daddy, that doesn't look like much fun to me."
There's one hot baby. Little Sky was not only not ready for the sudden summer heat (93 degrees) and scorching sun, but was also feeling a little under the weather. Regardless, she had a lot of fun discovering historic Williamsburg, Virginia.
By the way, all of the pictures taken above were taken with my iPhone so the image quality is not so good. I had not taken my camera because the stop at Williamsburg was to be just a lunch pit-stop. After the short detour through Williamsburg, Adam and I went to Keith and Jean's wedding while the kids road on to Virgina Beach with Bobba, Grandma, Uncle Dullah and Natalie.
What a wonderful reminder of what Colonial Williamsburg still looks like! I love the photos of Aiden and Sky walking amoung the dandelions. Sky, you are something else-you noticed the horse poop first!!! I love it. Back to the basics! You are my kind of girl!! And as for that "BULL's EYE" shot, I couldn't turn my back on that bull-he's scary!!! Your trip to Virginia Beach sounds like everyone had a great time and got to do many family things together, which is the most important gift a parent can give their children. It makes it even sweeter that Bobba, Grandma, Uncle Dullah and Natalie got to share all those memories too.
ReplyDeleteHi Sky & Aiden,
ReplyDeleteNora, Tyler and I were walking around Williamsburg on Thursday, probably a day or two before you arrived. How funny would it have been to be walking down the Main Street of Willimasburg and run into all of you?
We didn't see your bull but we did see the horse poop, the buttercups in the grass, tons and tons of school children, the guards marching, and a anrgument between Mistress Suzanna and her mean mother Mrs. Randolph. Nora is still talking about it and I'm writing it up. It's a story to remember.
Glad you had fun with everyone. It's worth a stop another time.
