Back Home in MT

We think Daddy is happy to have us back! We sure are happy to see him!

We LOVE the Eastern Shore!

Back to Montana we go! But, it's been a wonderful summer!!!

Bridge Tour

Earlier this week, we went on a tour of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, the 23 mile bridge and tunnel complex that connects mainland of Virginia to the Eastern Shore. I've crossed this bridge so many times, but have never been behind-the-scenes. Mom bought the tour at a fundraiser. She, Dad, Bret, Nana, Granddaddy, Uncle Steve, and Mason and I went along for the tour. Here's a couple pics of the catwalk on one of the tunnels.

Ocean City

We took a day trip to Ocean City the other day ... a yearly treat!

Enjoying some fries and a cool drink.

Granddaddy with his daughter and granddaughter.

The boys and their Thrasher's fries (and Jackson has his ice cream). 

Shoot off!

Granddaddy won once and Jackson won once. Won some fun prizes!

This little one is loved!

Merry-go-round.

Uncle Bret and Jackson.

Bumper cars ... Jackson chased down the other kids. 

Addie won a toy fish by catching these fish in the pool.

Teacups!

Look at that big brother watching his sister!

Little Swimmer

Jackson's been taking swimming lessons all week at the Onley pool. He loves the water and did great with the lessons. It's a challenge to get him out of the pool each day.

Doing 'the rocket!'

KJ helps Jackson with his form. 

KJ and her class.

Swim buddies!

Chincoteague, Part II

After swimming lessons the other day, we went up to Chincoteague again for some putt putt golf.

They both might need to work on their golf form.

She (kind-of) got the idea!

Jackson takes a break to pose with the elephant ...

... and both kids say hi to the giraffe.

Me and my boy.

And with both my little darlings.

Hellloooo in there!

Bumper boats! Nana and Addie vs. Mama and Jackson.

Jackson mastered the water gun quickly.

Addie loved riding this dump truck while Jackson did the climbing tower and big slide. 

Now that's a BIG chair!

Gone Fishing

Jackson and Uncle Mark went fishing at the Pond. They caught two fish with Jackson's Snoopy fishing rod.

Learning how to reel in the fish. 

Jackson was proud of his catch!

A Happy 4th of July Weekend

It was a bit rainy on the 4th thanks to a storm, but no big deal! The weather turned around and we had a great weekend.

Addie loves corn on the cob!

Nicole and Jackson on a mission to build a sand castle.

All smiles!

Mama's all smiles too ... love my girl!

Little red, white and blue children.

At the Craddock Neck 4th of July party ... Jackson can usually be found near the desserts.

Addie was scared of the fireworks so she and Nana stayed safe inside.
