First Practice

Today was supposed to be my first t-ball practice, but the whole family came down with a stomach virus and I was so bad, that mom took me to the emergency room last night. She said they doped me up pretty good. She called Coach Chuck and told him that I still wanted to play T-ball and would make the next practice.

Little Red Caboose

On the last day of vacation in Virginia, we went geocaching with Dad and Uncle Adam. One of the cache's was hidden on a old caboose, it was called Thomas Would Be Proud. While dad and Adam searched for the cache, Jenna and I played on the caboose. They found the cache and traded a few items, and then took some pictures of us.

Seeing Triple

This morning I was the first one dressed, then Bryce came down and he was dressed in camo shorts and a red t-shirt too. The next thing I know, Dad was dressed the same way. He's a big goober

Here's a couple more pictures:

Cheer Me Up

During our time in Virginia, Bobbi offered to take me to her Cheerleader school. I really had a blast doing all the cheer's with the other girls. I think this will be something I want to continue to do once I get back to Ohio

Here are some more pictures:

Son of a Beach

We spent a day at the beach, it was like 90 degrees out, and when the wind blew, it sandblasted us. Dad took a bunch of pictures of us with mom, but then when he gave the camera to momto take some pictures of us with dad, some sand must've got into the camera cause all the pictures came out like this.

We did take a bunch more pictures, and you can see all of those by clicking on the picture below.

Swimmin' with the fish

We went to the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Sceince Center on Mothers Day. We came here when we were here last year too. This time Madison and Cameron came with us. We got to see them feed penquins this time. It was way cool. After the aquarium, we took the mom's (mom and bobbi) out to dinner at our favorite place, Applebee's.

Cruisin'

We're here in Virginia have a good ol'time. Uncle Adam charged up the jeep and let us ride it around in the cul de sac. Here are some pictures:

Here vs There

Here's a quick look at the weather forecast over the next couple days in Cleveland versus what the weather will be like in Suffolk.

Not that much of a difference except on Saturday and Wednesday. We'll be coming back on Thursday from 80 degree temp's to 62 degree temp's.

Virginia Bound

Hopefully at this time tomorrow morning, we'll be in the great state of Virginia. It all depends on how well dad does driving. Mom, Jenna and I will probably sleep most of the way, unless we need to take a potty break. Dad is hoping by 10:00 am we're getting close to the Suffolk area.

According to all of the online maps/driving directions sites, it's 548 miles door to door. What is different between all of those is the time, one has it at 8 hours 52 minutes, another has it at 10 hours 3 minutes, yet another has it at 9 hours 30 minutes. Dad uses MapSource for the route that he loads into his GPS, anf MapsSource has it at 7 hours 38 minutes (which is about a 75 miles an hour average) Since this is the same route we took last year, we've found a couple Geocaches along the way, so we don't need to stop this time. It should be a straight shot for us.

You're How Old

Guess Who's Birthday is today.....

Albert Finney ??? Yes, but it's not the one that matters to us:

We know Grandma checks the blog before she checks her email, so go check your email Grandma.

Teenage Mutant Ninja.......

Nah, it's just a regular Turtle.

Uncle Ron got a turtle from FreeCycle, which is a community board where people post stuff they have for free that they want to give away. So he picked the turtle up from the people and I guess it was kinda out our way, so he stopped over and let us visit with the turtle. I dashed right over and was petting the turtle on his shell, Jacob, on the other hand, wouldn't get close to it at first. Eventually he came over and touched the shell (Way to go Brother) The turtle liked dandilions, so we picked a few and gave those to him (or her, not sure cause we didn't look under it's shell).

Dad said Uncle Ron could leave the turtle so it could eat the rest of the weeds we have in the front yard, but the turtle didn't move much, just kept eating the grass right in front of it.
After the turtle ate all the grass in one spot, it was time for the turtle to go to it's new home at Uncle Ron's house.

Here are some pictures:
