A Trip to Virginia

Since my cousin was getting married nearby in Maryland, we made the trek up to Virginia and spent a week with Grandma and Grandpa. We were also so excited to hang out with cousin Rylee (and her parents) and explore all the fun things to do up there. 

Nevermind all the toys; I think they had the most fun with an old keyboard with a broken key.

Just like his sister did two years before, Mason enjoyed wreaking havoc in Grandpa's newspaper basket.

Little drummer girls.

I'm not sure what was being discussed here, but it was a congenial negotiation.

"Let me get that block for you, cuz."

"That expired WHEN, Grandma?!"

Sharing a private joke with Grandma.

"Seriously, Mommy? Seriously?"
(Note: This was part of a nautical photo shoot that warrants its very own post. This is just a glimpse of the madness.)

Grandma's big, fancy tub makes LOTS of bubbles!

Meeting the goats at the Reston Zoo.

This llama was not wearing red pajamas. He was hungry, though.

Quacking up.

Hangin' with the joeys.

Mason on his chariot.

Figuring out the slide at a nearby playground.

Wrangling a gator.

Sprinkler fun.

Relaxing in the pool after a long, hard day of exploring.

Avery's favorite part was definitely the chocolate fountain.

And my favorite part was definitely the dance moves of the under-5 set.
