Trip Back East

We went back east to Virginia to visit Chrystal and her family and meet the whole rest of the family there as well. The first few shots are from before we left.

Except for this one. This is undeniably the best picture I got of Lucas the whole trip. I will post the story when I get to it in order, but here it is for you all to enjoy.


Lucas taking mommy's picture

At the Virginia Capitol Building. Lucas was actually posing for me.Lucas's attempt at "turn around and look at mommy" with the statue of George Washington.

Lucas and Mariah were very good friends the whole time!

They tried on girly hats together.

Then they tried on manly hats together.

Lucas at the James River. It had been raining and it was really flowing and Lucas was so excited by it. He would have gone swimming if we would have let him.

Lucas and daddy looking at the river.

Inside an Indian hut at Jamestown.Lucas loving on daddy on the boat at Jamestown.

You can tell they really like boats.

Afton, Jared, Lucas, Dallin, and Mariah on the boat. Lucas loving the boat at lot.

Look! I was there! This is about 6 months pregnant, I wasn't avoiding the camera for that reason, I was just holding it most of the time.
Lucas, Jared, Afton, Grandpa, and Dallin.

Trying on the hat from the armory.
Dallin and Afton succeeded at looking tough, I was making Jared laugh on purpose.

Lucas and daddy chasing chickens.
Lucas liked that all of the chickens were going in the chicken coop, so about 10 seconds prior to this picture he had his head almost in the coop looking at them and calling them. Someone called his name to tell him there was another chicken and he turned around and saw this chicken and was not very pleased with how close it was to him all of a sudden. All I can say is, I saw it coming and had the camera ready and managed to get the shot.

Holding a cool colonial sword.
Afton and Grandpa in the stocks

Lucas and Mariah in the stocks. They really thought they wanted to do this and then thought better of it really fast.

Which is evidenced on Lucas's face here.

The band in Williamsburg

Lucas and Mariah were tuckered out after a long day.

We went and toured a plantation. While we were waiting Lucas decided that it was cool to carry a stick in your mouth like this.

See? It's cool.

Jared holding Lylah.
Ok, so blogger won't let me upload the other pictures. I guess this will have to do for now and I will post the end of the trip later.
