Great Country Farms!!

While in VA we went to this AWESOME place- Great Country Farms!! The kids LOVED it!!
This is Will on a huge blow up jumpy thing. The sign said that adults couldn't jump on it, but I just ignored it- we had so much fun:)
Haisley was in the middle of all these chess pieces and was in heaven- something just her size!!
Instead of a bunch of gross sand, the farm has a place full of corn kernels. The kids enjoyed playing in here and we found pieces of corn "everywhere" after we were done:)
My cute nephews- Will and Tate.
Halle figured out to do this awesome little toy- she was pretty proud of herself!!
Haisley was trying to be like her big sister, but couldn't quite get it.
Cute kidlets:)
We didn't go anywhere without giving the kids tons of candy and goodies to keep them from falling apart. Thanks Em for the suckers!!
Halle LOVED this area of the farm- she was pretending this was a grocery store and the boys would come around on their trackers and get the food. SO CUTE!!
One day WHEN we get a house we would like to have a little backyard so we can have a playhouse for the girls to pretend with. I love watching them and seeing how their minds work- I think they watch their mom a little too much. I guess I had better start watching everything I do so they don't pick up on the bad things I do.

Washington Nationals

Here we are at the SECOND baseball game of the trip- Washington Nationals!! It was such a beautiful stadium and we had a blast because these guys (picture below) were with us:)
My brother, Bill, and his WONDERFUL family: Emilee, Will and Tate. Thanks for coming with us and helping Brad get two more stadiums on his list:)
We bought the really cheap tickets, but since it was such "packed house" we got to sit really close:) All the kids even made it onto T.V:)
Of course you can't go to a game without eating tons of treats:) The girlies LOVED the COTTON CANDY!!
By the end of the night the girls had had it.

While walking out of the stadium (early I might add) we saw Tommy Lasorda walking out. Brad was excited to get a picture with him that he totally spaced the fact that he was carrying my purse- so here you have it- how manly!!

Boston Red Sox!!

A couple weeks ago we had the opportunity to go out to Virginia and visit my brother and his family.  One of the main reasons Brad agreed to take this much needed "vaca" was that he would be able to visit 2 more baseball stadiums.  So here we are in Baltimore!!
Notice the shirts: I guess you know who played against the Orioles- GO RED SOX!!
Oh, how would it be to have everyone fighting over you.  
Here are the BOYS: Bill, Brad and Justin Whiting.  Brad and Justin have been friends since elementary school and he is attending dental school in Baltimore.  Brad called him up while we were driving to the stadium and told him that we were going to be in town.  He was so nice to drop whatever he was doing to come and see us (well mainly Brad), but we had a great time as well!!
Halle REALLY enjoying the game: this was post NAP (thank heavens she took one for our sanity:))  She was probably chanting "Red Sox UP, Yankees DOWN!!"  The Red Sox WON, but unfortunately have disappointed us in the post season.
Our cute family minus Halle in front of the Baltimore Harbor.
