Visiting the Millers

This year we made it back up to see our friends Ben and Heather.  Trevor stayed with my parents while we went up, so it was a good break for Shane and I.  We drove up to my parents on Friday and waited for them at the house while they were on their way back from dropping my brother off at WVU.  Trevor made himself right at home and became best friends with my parent's dogs. 

Shane and I left on Saturday morning and drove up to Heather’s grandparent’s house in Carlisle, PA, where we spent the day with her family.  That night we went back to their house in Hagerstown, MD to hang out and then spent the day at Augustoberfest the next day before heading back to Woodbridge to pick Trevor up. 

And then our camera died….

To be more specific, despite all our efforts to “protect” the camera while on the beach, sand got in our lens and our trusty camera was done for. 

Sooooooo….I did my research, realized that I wasn’t ready to make the commitment to a digital slr, and bought a new camera…and its pretty sweet.  Have you seen the Sony Cybershot commercials with Taylor Swift taking the sweep panorama photos?  That’s the one!  We love it!

 

Yay for new cameras Mommy!

Kure Beach 2010

This was our third year of spending a week at the beach in North Carolina.  We stayed in the same condo this year that we did last year and had a great time!  Trevor was able to do so much more this year, and as the week went on he got more and more comfortable on the beach.  We also spent some time away from the beach doing some sightseeing, which was fun too. 

Our first day there was rainy so after church, we drove into Wilmington to go to the Children’s Museum.

 

We stopped off to see the animals at the zoo…

Two Stowaways in our Suitcases

When we returned home from Liz and Daryl’s wedding, Shane’s mother and cousin Jonie met us at the airport in Kansas City and flew back with us.  They stayed with us for a week and while we were here we had tons of fun showing them around!
