Weekend in VA

As any grandparent knows, there is nothing better than seeing the grandkids. We have four and two of them live in Virginia, outside of DC. This past weekend we made the 5 1/2 hour trip to see them. It was such great fun.

First we had a delicious lunch out at Manhattan Pizza.

Next we opened some belated gifts and then Connelly boys put together a Matchbox race set. It was tons of fun.

Of course, there was some very competitive games of Chutes and Ladders, Guess Who and UNO.

The kids thoroughly enjoyed the hotel pool and hot tub. Paige has become quite a fish, with beautiful swimming strokes.  Landon is just getting the beginning steps of swimming. But they both would have spent the entire day in the pool.

However, there was still open skating for the whole family. Even Nicole is getting into skating. It really is a wonderful family activity.

Absolutely no quilting got accomplished all weekend. Time to catch up.
