Nags Head

We went to Nags Head with the Henry's, Uncle Bryan, Ms. Ali, Ms. Aimee, and Mr. Mark. Unfortunatly, Francesca had to visit the ER while we were there with a 104.8 fever. Luckily, it was only a virus but we ended up coming home a few days early. We had a great time while we were there though.Here are the kids zonked out on the way home from Nags Head.Anna wearing Ms. Aimee's beach hat

Nana & Poppy's Shore

It's been a few weeks since I've posted. We went to the shore a couple of times so far this summer. Here are some pics from our trips. Sunset on Silver Beach

Happy 1st Birthday Kylie!

Saturday we celebrated Kylie's first birthday at the Henry's All the girls on the couch. Francesca looks like a thug.

Playing hide and seek. All the kids hid under the steps from Kevin

Kevin was pulling all the kids in the wagon up and down the hill. He was a little sore the next day.

Happy Mother's Day!

We went to Nana and Poppy's for a Mother's Day cookout. I had a great day. Francesca and Anna gave me a beautiful homemade butterfly necklace and Kevin took me out to dinner the night before. Anna helped plant flowers. She liked to pull the blooms off.

Zoo Fun

We went to the National Zoo with Aunt Shelley and Jack a few weeks ago. It was so much fun and the kids were so good. Anna, Francesca, and Jack taking a break in the shade.

Aunt Shelley and the little ones watching the sea lions.

The gorilla

Watching the tigers

The orangutangs climbed on ropes over where you walked and one went potty luckily there wasn't anyone under him. Francesca thought that was hilarious

Then later in the week we went to the Maryland Zoo with the Marohl girls and the Henry family.

Peyton, Maggie, Hayden, and Francesca posing with the monkey statue. Kylie and Anna watched from the strollers.
