Marching with the Squirrels

Camden read a certain number of books and earned a ticket to a baseball game as well as the honor of marching in the parade before the game. We met up with some other families from his school, and it was a total blast. Yep. We're the Richmond Flying Squirrels. Woot. It's a minor league team. Nothing too fancy, but it sure was fun!

What?!? My kindergartener is a girl magnet? This was a very enlightening outing for mom and dad.

What a classic Camden shot. Love my boy-boy.

Pumpkin Patch with the Bergmans

Austin & Heather were having a bash at the pumpkin patch and invited us to come along.

Farmer Camden!

"PUH-KINS!!! PUH-KINS!"

My handsome boys.
(Yeah, yeah, Mom, so you got a picture already ... now can we go back to running around the pumpkin patch?!? Geesh!)

Everybody back to the wagons!

Handsomest pumpkin carrier I ever did see. :) The wedding is one week from today.

Liam, Christian, and Austin on the wagon heading back.

Camden, King of the Hay Bales!

Busch Gardens, VA

Free day for U of R faculty at Busch Gardens! Woot! Poppa and I took the boys, and we had a blast! Love the park here. So shady! Cam says it's called "Busch" gardens because there are so many bushes. Haha!

Cam and Poppa are in the third-from-the-last car.

Hot, sweaty boys on the train.

Cutie Camden

Beach Baby!

One of the biggest highlights of the summer? Liam had his very first beach experience. And ... he LOVED it! We practically had to drag him home at the end of the day. Looks like we will be driving out to VA Beach more often!

First steps on the sand...

Busy boys!

  

Mima, soaks in the sun while watching her crazy great-grandkids!

Annnnnd (*drumroll please*) Granmy taught Camden how to boogy-board! So cool!

Liam loved the water, too. He spent a lot of time chasing the waves, but even more soaking in his own personal swimming pool. :)

Maymont

We spent a lovely afternoon in one of our favorite places: the Japanese garden at Maymont. Auntie Becka came too.

See Cam on the rock at the base of the waterfall?

And there's the other one, cute as a button ... as usual!

Waiting for me ... some with more patience than others. haha

Too cute for words.
(Hard to believe right after this outing he promptly began puking uncontrollably -- drenched both of us from head to toe right as we walked in the house. Ah, motherhood.)
