The Ocean View Carnival
There is no lack of entertainment in Hampton Roads. Throughout the summer, there are lots of festivals, carnivals, concerts, and fireworks. Many of these are free. This is one nice advantage of living in a bigger city. Lamar took the kids up the road to the Ocean View Carnival a few weeks ago, while I had a meeting. They had a great time. Walter rode a few rides. Grace played on the big slide most of the afternoon.
Beaching It
Our move to Ocean View was a great idea, even if my car was stolen from the driveway last year. The children, Lamar, and I love taking advantage of the Chesapeake Bay and beach right across the street. Grace and Walter have really become beach bunnies. Grace will go straight out with no fear, as long as her face does not get wet. Walter will go in to his knees. Of course, they both LOVE the sand. I have decided that I am not going to mop my hardwoods until the summer is over. I mean, really, what is the point? The house stays COVERED in sand!!

Jackie and Alex's Birthday
Jackie and Alex are in Grace's class at school. They are twins. Their birthday this year was at the "tumbling class place," according to Grace. It is otherwise known as JW Tumbles. It is a gymnastics place that caters its lessons to children. Walter was invited as well. He just played. Grace bounced on the yoga ball, knocked over the air mattress, and zipped on the zip line. She had a great time and decided that she should take classes at the tumbling class place.
Spring Time in Virginia
Spring arrived early in southeastern VA this year. Now that we have a larger back yard/driveway, the kids spend lots more time outside. Grace loves to ride in her jeep from the second birthday, and she is even willing to let Walter ride...sometimes. With Walter, it is always safety first. He insists on wearing his sister's bicycle helmet whenever he rides. It is Disney Princess-themed. Gotta love the fashion sense.
