Once we got home from Chicago we continued with our at home vacation.
We squeezed in lots of fun day trips and activities and continued to cross things off our bucket list.
Erik's mom came down and we went to the Patrick Henry reenactment of the 2nd Virginia Convention at St. Johns church.
This was where Henry gave his famous speech "Give me liberty or give me death!"
It was really cool! It's a beautiful historic church right in the heart of Richmond.
Trips to the pool with the fun one. (daddy)
We also had a lot of first this summer (bowling) and Lucy's first movie at a theater!
We thought the summer kid movies for $1 was a good place to start.
They played Rio which none of us had seen and we all LOVED it.
It was super cute and Lucy stayed attentive the whole time.
p.s...that popcorn cost double what it cost us for all of us to get into the movie-can you say "suckers!"
We made it to Virginia beach with our friends the Owens.
It was there first time on the Atlantic Ocean and it was Lucy's first time at Va beach.
It always takes Lu a while to warm up, but this time once she did we couldn't get her out of the water!
She was super brave and loved jumping the waves!
It was a perfect day!
Lucy has a new friend- Taley.
We went to a free Children's play put on by kids at the Glen Allen Center For the Arts.
It was really cute.
And of course we have LOVED watching the Olympics!
So much so that to get NBC (via our antenna) we learned that our t.v. cord had to be up on the wall just like so. So desperate times...we taped it to the wall. GHETTO! But it has been totally worth it! ;)
I can't remember a year I watched this many events and loved the games as much as we did this year!
It has been awesome
Our summer is officially over!
We are sad to have daddy back at school, but we made some great summer memories!
