After the Zoo, the Rowes got settled into our house. We ate some dinner and bathed the kids. The girls all piled onto the couch to watch some "Tangled." We made cookies and popcorn and the adults had a good chat.
Lily was really good at making really round balls of cookie dough.
The next day, we took it easy (like the zoo was a lot of work!) We all went to the park while Devin had to go to school.
Will and Vienna trying out the plane at the park.
I love Ava's supermodel face in this photo.
After we sat for a minute and watched the kids play in the sand, Cory says, "So, this is what moms do all day?" Ya, pretty much.
Devin came home early afternoon and we went for a little hike in a REAL forest- not like those fake ones in Utah that only have a dozen trees total ;) We found this awesome really old grave yard along the way.
Love Ava's theatrical performance
I hope this dead couple doesn't find it offensive that Cambers chose this moment to point out all the letters and numbers on their head stone. Way to seize the moment Cambers.
The ladies' gander. Sidenote, Devin ran into exactly 2 trees while trying to capture this. Bless him.
This skirt is a little big on her, so I'm always pulling it back up on her. She decided to take matters into her own hands.
Lily being the grumpy old troll on the bridge. She told us a riddle, and we couldn't figure it out. Thankfully the grumpy old troll showed some mercy and let us pass anyway.
Big Cory and Little Cory
Big Jos and Little Devin
Little family photo time. Lily and Ava were smiling just fine until Devin said, "Ok, Smile" haha
Everyone looking at the camera!! miracles do still happen!
We had lots of fun splashing, throwing rocks, and wading in this shallow river. Will loves his rocks
Successful attempts on the balance beam. This is right after Lily's back handspring ariel ;)
What a happy girl she is. Eating leaves and drinking in nature. Can life get any better?
After our little hike, we went to some Southern cooking at Danny's BBQ where the Rowes were introduced to fried okra, collard greens, vinegar based BBQ sauce, and banana pudding. No pictures of it!
The girls had a great time in the bath. Of course this is the time Vienna decides to poop in the tub!! Haha Honestly child! Cambry and Ava were quite happy to run around nude for a few minutes while I got everything cleaned and sanitized
I love these posts! You guys truly captured our trip for us! I love the one of the girls all together on the couch! Too fun! The bath photo is so cute too! We all had such an enjoyable time!! Thanks for being such good hosts! My girls loved that park too, wish we could go back! Cute family photo of you guys!! Love it!
