I have so so much to tell about this trip! I will try to spare you too many details. It was so much fun! We flew into D.C. on Tuesday the 30th of June, and returned home the following Tuesday. We were so sad to leave, honestly we could have stayed another week, and been happy campers! I guess that thing called work, and reality had to get in the way :(. Anywho we (all of Nathans family) stayed at Kristen and Deans home in Gainesville about 40 minutes out of D.C. We got in REALLY late Tuesday night, but the girls did awesome:). However when we arrived to their house, Becca crashed on her bed, and Rachel was in hysterics and was totally wired because she had fallen asleep on the car ride over, and we had to wake her up to bring her in the house! YIKES! Eventually she fell asleep, and after that it was smooth sailing as far as sleep went for the rest of the trip. The next day Ken, and Angie with their 5 kids arrived, party time! YEA! We went to Museums, went through a really cool cave, did swimming, and an incredibly cool water park. We went to the battle field of Bull Run, which was so humbling. We had an incredible fireworks show thanks to Dean and Ken :).We had Grandpa Lord's birthday party! A lot of fabulous food, and the kids played played played! Becca and Rachel were in heaven with so many cool new toys, and cousins to hang out with from sun up to sun down. At night when the kiddos went to bed, we played lots of games, and had a lot of great laughs! Nathan had us wetting our pants just about every night! This was probably the best family reunion yet! Thanks again Kristen and Dean for hosting, we love you guys, and are missing you like crazy! I know I said it a million times, but I could not get over how green everything was it was beautiful, It was so GREEN:). Here are a lot of pictures for your viewing pleasure :).
All of the kids gravitate towards Nathan :)
Licking her fingers after lunch!
This was a cool train ride the kids (and Dean:) took after exploring the cave.
Becca with her cousin Hannah, these two had a lot of fun together.
Ray Ray in her "take up my whole arm floaties", with Chloe, these girls are so CUTE! I just want to take a bite out of those thighs:)

I miss these kids, they were so fun to be around.
I love that grin!
Making 4th of July artwork!
waiting for the fireworks to start!
Becca was in heaven with these babies! After she got over the fact that they were not "scary".
This was at Bull Run, so cool to see!
Becca contemplating the meaning of life:) This was not a posed picture.
Raywho and I going down the water slide, by the look on her face I'm not sure she enjoyed it.
Kid size Lazy river
Watching all the kids go down the lazy river, wishing they could go down it too:).
The sun setting on our last fun filled day in Virginia...I feel like crying about now! I think we could live in that place:).

You have so many great pictures! We really need to make a CD/DVD with all of the pictures and videos so we can all share. I'm so glad that you had a good time, I know that we did. It was such a great week that flew by. The boys, especially Jonathan, keep asking for their "cousins" to come back and Chloe keeps asking for Bak Bak (Becca). Thanks for all the fun. You have to come out here this fall! October has tons of fall festivals or apple picking in September. Lots to do.
What a fun trip you had!! It makes me want to go and visit. You can move there only if we are allowed to go with you. Remember the plan. :) Anywho... Glad you guys had a fun trip, but glad that you are back so that we can hang out.
No! You can't live there cause then for
sure I'd never see you! In fact, I had a dream last night and you were in it! It was funny.. It was like we were both back in the dating/hanging out game! Thank goodness it was just a dream! Glad you had fun! Cute pics! Love your swimsuit by the way! You look great!
