Adventures and such

Here's a look at what we V's have been up too...

We had A's first birthday party!  Okay, that was back in April but I haven't had a chance to upload pics yet...

It was an absolutely beautiful day for a party, the birthday girl was feeling more than a little under the weather thanks to her 12 month shots but she had a good time anyway I think :) 

                                 

We planted a garden for Mother's Day

We built a fort and played Super Heroes for Father's Day

    

We went Strawberry Eating (I mean Picking)

And we celebrated our 5 year wedding Anniversary!  

Geocaching!!

Last month we had our first real family caching trip!  Our first find took us to one of the most beautiful and peaceful cemeteries I have ever seen.  C loved playing in the leaves and visiting all the stones.  I was actually very surprised how respectful she was especially for not really knowing the significance of where we were somehow she just knew.  

C just loved looking for the "boxes" :) and was very proud when she got to pull this one out of the tree.

Our second find of the day was at a park in Greenville A and I stayed out in the open for the most part while C and Daddy went into the woods to get a better idea of where the cache was.

We let A "find" the second one since it was more her size and at her level :) 

After the caching was over we went on to have some Matt's Hot Dogs for lunch in the park and were very happy to see the Ducks are back for us to feed!

Magic Wings

A couple of weeks ago we took a trip to visit Magic Wings Butterfly Garden and Conservatory out in Massachusetts.  This place was just plain one of the coolest places I've ever been.  There were literally thousands of all sorts of butterflies just flitting around free.   

Cassie wasn't so sure of the flying bugs, but she warmed up to the place after a while. 

  

Allie had a good time, she wanted to touch everything in site and much preferred to get down and experience everything from her level :) 

Really neat part of the day?  The Butterflies would actually land on you if you stayed still long enough. 

Cassie was much happier checking out the fish and frogs really :) those things couldn't touch her lol.  

And now I'll leave you with some of my favorite butterfly shots from the day :)
