Another Wedding Weekend

We finished up our year of weddings with the marriage of Chris' work friend Jordie and her husband Joel in southwest Virginia. While we were celebrating up in the mountains at a Wilderness Adventure Camp, the girls were having a good time at the mountain house with Grandma and Grandpa.

Beach Week 2016

It was a fantastic beach week with the Bevingtons and Liggitts the first half of the week and the Cooks the last half. We checked off just about everything on our beach to-do list: sailing, crab feasts, numerous visits to the beach and pool, and catching up with friends. We're sad that our long vacation is behind us!



Lots of fun in the pool with friend Elyse

Beach donuts!

Daddy and Alex caught about 8 crabs in the crab pots
