Virginia Living Museum

A few weeks ago, our friends Mandy and Paul came down from Richmond with their twin boys to visit and have a play date with Trevor.  The boys had such a great time that we knew we needed to get them together again soon.  Mandy’s mom had the outstanding idea of taking the twins to the Virginia Living Museum in Newport News and she and Mandy invited us to come along.  We all had a great time, and the museum was awesome.  They had tons of interactive stuff for kids to do (of course, the boys are too young right now) but it is something that we can go back and do again once they are older.  It is actually much closer than we thought it was—and on the drive up there, we discovered a cute area of Newport News called Hilton Village.  Shane and I are hoping to get back up there to do some exploring eventually. 

Here are some of the pictures of our adventure:

we then thought it was a good idea to let Trevor and Caleb run free!

Trevor wouldn’t climb into the turtle shell, so we had him sit on it instead. 

this, i think, was the best photo of the day—all three boys looking AND smiling!

 

passed out on the ride home!

 

confession: the adorable blue corduroy train overalls that Trevor is wearing in all these photos—belonged to my brother back in the day.  circa 1994 we think.  goes to show, Oshkosh is always in style :)
