Sunshine and Play

FINALLY!!!! We are getting some warm weather. Temps reached 80 and we headed to the beach. it was a little windy and colder at the beach but still plenty warm to play and enjoy the sunshine and surf!

 

 

Why is Gabi crying?

 

a. I walked away

b. sand in the eyes

c. she was totally unbelieveably freaked out by her feet in the sand even with her shoes on!!

 

 

This was 2 years ago...wow

After a while she would play on my lap and I could stand her on the sand, still would not walk. refused to lift her legs up at all to move!

Silly girl!

 

 Jake met a little girl his age and they were playing. when she had to say goodbye she pushed him and walked away. He came back and was grinning eat to ear and said with a giggle " Did she just push me?"

sigh.............

 

Play time

We headed out to the Botanical Gardens yesterday. It was a great warm sunny day. They have a huge sandy play area for the kids and Kurt and I took turns running.
The gardens back up to the local Norfolk Airport. they have built a large hill and observation area. After playing we headed up to watch some planes!

 

Kurt came back from his run. Gabi saw him across the field and took off running yelling " Daddy!". You would have thought he had been gone longer than 45 min.

 

Jake loved the Airplanes and airport.

 

Gabi was not interested until the plane took off

Jake took my camera to capture the BIG plane taking off. not too bad, he put the subject in the center of the frame

Sometimes all you need is a warm day

We have had some great sunshiney warm days and it makes me happy!


We went to the mariner Museum which is about a battle between the Monitor and the Merrimack ships in the civil war. they had re-enactors and were shooting off the cannon outside.

Jake and Gabi got to ring the bell of the ship

Jake got enlisted into Ab Lincoln's army. he was told to report the following morning at 6am to start duty. He told the guy " you know Im a kid right, I cant really do this!"

The cannon they were shooting. Jake was very very nervous about the loud noise. after it went off he asked to go back inside. Gabi on the other hand said " BOOM, cool!"

It is impossible to get a good picture of the 2 of them

It is also impossible to get everyone looking at the camera

 

Wacky Wednesday.. this kids wacky enough he doesnt need any help
