WI Trip

Here is a quick overview of our trip. We had a very fun time but it was so nice to see Derek after being gone for 2 weeks!

My loved the reading selection in the bathroom.

Playing the pliano with Grandpa is always a favorite.

One day we went with Grandma Stock to the Betty Brinn Childrens Museum.


Tubby time with cousin Lina. Carrie told Mya to splash Lina...she didn't realize that Mya could splash so hard.

Mya danced while her crazy aunts pretended to play different instruments (Lydia was holding the bucket for Jenna as Jenna had been sick the night before)

Playing with Uncle Stepan

Making sure Lina looked her best.

We celebrated Carrie's 24th birthday complete with Rainbow Chip frosting.

We also helped Grandma Blaubach plant some beans in the garden.

My mom and I made a trip out to Culpeper, Virginia for a friend of mine's wedding. Mya stayed with Papa and Grandma Stock and had lots of fun complete with a trip to the water park and cookies from Great Grandma Stock.
We went to Fredricksburg, VA and walked around. We learned quite a bit at the local Apothacary. Be glad medician has advanced quite a bit since the 1700's!

We also walked around the Kenmore gardens.

The highlight of the trip was a fun little tea shop we found and had a tea party. Complete with hats and pearls:)

The reception was at Prince Micheals Vinyard. It was very beautiful.

We also had the chance to walk around Washington D.C. We put in quite a few miles and saw The Capital Building, White House, Washington Memorial, World War II Memorial (pictured below), Vietnam Memorial, Korean Memorial, Lincoln Memorial (also pictured below), and Arlington National Cemetary where we saw the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Oh my goodness Mya looks so much like you when you were little in the picture of Carrie's birthday! I love the picture of you and Mom in the tea hats and I really like your shirt in the last one.

Nice pictures Kristen. I still love the one with Jenna and the bucket because Tons looks so crazy with that guitar. Tell Derek hello:)
