For spring break our dear friends, the Smiths, invited us and the Abbotts to their cottage on the Rappahannock River near the Chesapeake Bay in Virgina. It was a wonderful few days with our North Carolina family. Since a picture's worth a thousand words I'll let them do most of the talking...
Jumping at the sand dunes.
The first day we were there was gorgeous and warm. The kids played in the water, caught creatures in the stream, flew kites and had a ball. The next couple days were cold and windy, but the fun didn't stop.
These baby turtles were the favorite creatures caught. Tadpoles, crawdads, and minnows were among the others.
Luke and Corbin are kindred spirits when it comes to caring for creatures.
Alex flying the kite.
In the evenings we gathered round the bonfire and ate s'mores.
One of the cold rainy days we drove to Jamestown, Virginia.
We picnicked in the rain and cold like the first settlers did over 400 years ago and then explored the Jamestown Settlement.

Exploring the Powhatan Indian Village...
...and the English Settlement.
Ethan, Josh and Alex. Our little warriors.
The last day it was still too cold and windy to do much outside, so after a quick easter egg hunt the kids created their own "egg games" indoors. Anna and Addilyn played the egg under cup game while the others spun their eggs to see whose egg could spin on in its end the longest.
