July 2015

July is one of my favorite months of the year.  There is no school; it is warm; it stays light outside until about 9pm; and we always have a trip or two planned.

This year we celebrated July 4th at the pool.  That night we had some friends over for a cookout and then went to see some fireworks set off at the pond in our neighborhood.

The second week of July we took the kids and two of their friends to Williamsburg.  We first went to Water Country USA.  It was fun but very crowded.

The second day of our trip we went to Busch Gardens.  We had so much fun.  It wasn't nearly as crowded as the water park, and we were able to ride many rides several times.

Emma had as much fun as the boys!!!

Our last full day in Williamsburg, we toured Historic Yorktown.  The kids weren't too into it.  It also started pouring down rain when we were there.

After Yorktown, we went over to William and Mary's baseball and soccer fields.

Then we stopped in a cute store for fudge.  I made the kids let me take their photo by the VW bus.

They look happy, don't they?

JC and I took two cars on this trip because on the day of check out, JC drove Brendan and his friend to UVA for baseball camp.

Jackson had the opportunity to play in a 3 v. 3 soccer tournament, and his team won their division.

Brendan's travel team got to play at Appalachian State University.

Jackson got to go zip lining with friends.

We spent the last weekend in Emerson, GA playing at the PerfectGame complex.  It was an amazing experience for the boys.
