A little walk at Jamestown






Spring in Williamsburg






Our Little Patriots hittin' the town!

Tate and Naomi paying homage to their ancestry.

Consequently, Tate was shooting at every British flag he saw all day long...

...which was many a British flag.

Tate was guarding the steps to the oldest college in America,

The College of William and Mary.

What a lady! Tate taking aim at yet another British flag.

Colonial Williamsburg

Naomi stopped for some rest for her weary legs.

Tate also enjoyed the tree chair.

We walked across a highway, and were timewarped back to early America! The next generation Aggie, right here! Whoop!

Great Wolf Waterpark pics

A pic of the indoor waterpark at the Great Wolf Lodge. If you look, you can see a huge bucket at just over the red roof. The bucket fills with water and then dumps it out every five minutes or so. Tate loved that part!

Tate's in the blue and white striped shorts.

Tate's waiting for the bucket. The lazy river.


Water fun at the Great Wolf Lodge

The Tornado!

Two inches too short, but Tate manned up and went down the Tornado with Daddy.

Tate said this was his favorite ride, but became very nervous when he thought he'd have to go again!

Tate was off the raft before I could even get the picture!

A relieved, and excited Tate just had the scariest adventure of his life!

Great Wolf Lodge Adventure!

Our MUCH anticipated Great Wolf Lodge trip FINALLY arrived!

The kids had their very own cabin!

Early America

On our way home from Virginia Beach, we stopped off at Jamestown (America's earliest colony) and Colonial Williamsburg!


Tate is walking a path on Jamestown Island:


We witnessed replica ships of America's earliest settlers!
Tate and Naomi meander down memory lane in Williamsburg:


The kids in downtown Williamsburg!



One Blue Umbrella-ella-ella, eh, eh, eh

Friends on the beach, sharing the umbrella...as the song goes,

"I'll be your friend, gonna stick it out to the end..."



"...you can stand under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh eh..."

Our "Click Moment"

Emily called this a "Click Moment." You know, the kind that you miss if you're a second too late? Tempted by exhaustion and a slew of other excuses not to drop everything and run to the beach for our third sunset, but knowing we only had a couple more sunsets to see, we dropped everything and sprinted to the boardwalk, over the dunes, and all the way to the edge of the world...to see God's Masterpiece. But what we really found there, was family...








Praise God that He adopted us all to be His Sons and Daughters, bringing us all into His family as Brothers and Sisters in Christ! We love you-Goode Girls! Thanks for making our week great!


The Virginia Aquarium on a rainy day...

The Goode girls, Dallas, and Naomi wait for a stingray! Tate-having no fear-pets one like he does this all the time!



Unfortunately, there was a Great White in the stingray tank, and we all went down...
I don't know why Emily thought that was funny...
