The house we stayed at in Fries was just up the hill from the New River. It was so beautiful there. Ben was able to go running in the morning on the New River trail. When he got back the first morning of running, he said that he was thankful he is able to run, just so he could experience that.
There was a little park right by the river.I forgot that the playgrounds now-a-days don't have teeter totters. It just goes to show how old this town/park is. Parker had so much fun teeter-tottering! :)
Parker's Papaw went fishing while we were at the park. We got down to the river just in time for Parker to catch a fish!
On Saturday {the day of the reunion}, we met up with the all the Lineberry's where Benji's dad and brothers attended school. It was a little one room school building. We were able to catch up on all the happenings and have some good eats!There were horses in a field right next to the school that Parker and Preston couldn't get enough of. You would think I deprive my children by living here in the city!
Parker LOVES bugs. He is {thoughtfully} looking at a butterfly that landed by our blanket:
And he found a fuzzy caterpiller:
For some reason, my boys love posing in the bathtub. Don't ask me why, but Parker is SERIOUSLY posing in this picture!
It was a lot of fun to get away for a few days. We came home Sunday afternoon. It really was a quick trip. Parker got so EXCITED when he saw the mountains for the first time! :) I can't wait till we can go home to Idaho and fly into SLC and for him to see THOSE mountains! :)
It was just absolutely beautiful up there. It is so green. And so peaceful. Living here in Va Beach, life is always just GO GO GO! It was nice to relax {as much as possible with two boys} for a minute and enjoy the fresh air!
oh my goodness that looked fun! The area there looks so beautiful! I bet you had a really good relaxing weekend! The fishing was cute, and I miss see-saw's or teeder-todders (whatever they are called) too! Those were the best! I'll see you tomorrow at the meeting! ;)

ReplyDeletefirst: did you say that flea market was in HICKSville!! haha!
second: i think that Benji was DEFINITELY more excited about that fish than Parker was!!
looks like you guys had a nice getaway!
Ahhh...you guys are so cute. Thanks for letting me watch the boys the other day. It was fun. I had fun, at least. Maybe the boys were bored, but I enjoyed seeing them. I don't know how I'm going to be able to move away and not see them for a long time... :(
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had a good weekend. We just stayed around the house and did a lot of cleaning up and honeydews!!! Now we only have half a list to finish. But way cute pictures. I also thought you wrote Hicksville. Totally funny.
