We spent the Memorial Day weekend in Lexington, VA along with my parents, sister, brother and their families. It was great to see them all and to watch the kids interact. We arrived a day early along with Bubie and PopPop. We spent the day exploring the area and found a small quiet playground. The kids loved playing on the swings, looking for catapillars, and even sliding down the rather large sliding board.
Sela had no fear climbing up the ladder, but sliding down was another story. This is what happened when she got scared and tried to stop herself:
The kids did some fishing with their PopPop, cousins and Uncles Rick and Jamie:
We visited a safari in Lexington. We bought a couple buckets of feed and fed the animals when they came to our car. We saw camels, llamas, zebras, cattle, deer, pigs and many other animals. Nathan loved it:
But, Sela was rather unsure of everything:
During this trip, Uncle Rick taught Nathan how to catch and throw the baseball:
We also celebrated the birthdays of our dogs Onyx and Mishu this week. They both turned 7 recently. They are such happy girls, loyal and loving. We are so blessed to have them in our lives and are so thankful that they are healthy! Here is Mishu:

Have a great weekend everyone!

And, the kids loved the bubbles:
both in and out of the tub!
We visited the Natural Bridge and the kids even went into their first cavern.
That evening, the kids ate watermelon around the campfire before roasting marshmellows and playing with their cousins.
It was great to spend time with family:
