Our Trip Back East to visit Grandma and Grandpa Deaver!

Our first stop in North Carolina was at Aunt Laura's townhouse where ElvisAnn had her annual photo shoot by her Auntie Lisa and Laura. (pictures coming soon) We saw oreo cows! My favorite one was the midget one on the far right. .




We had to pick up some killer shades at the truck stop on our way out to the Outer Banks... OBX

All Four grand kids with Grandma and Grandpa.

ElvisAnn with her cousin Collin, he is a big boy and reminded me what we are in for in just a few short months! Hopefully she will be as happy as Collin.

Scott took ElvisAnn down the slide, but she didn't want to do it again.

Pretty flowers back east.

The condo we stayed in.
I love the way N.C. paints their beach houses, just like the caribbean!

Scott let out all 500 ft of his $5 kite. I thought it was a goner, but it survived the crazy obx wind! (look for the black dot in the sky)

Cousin Isabelle helped ElvisAnn fly the kite .


Scott, flying his kite or is the kite flying him?

That's one tall lighthouse

Thank you Wright bros! (This is where the first motor plane took flight)

Home of the best frozen custard and aviation.


On the way to Virgina we found the home of the legendary "Gravedigger". Totally Awesome!

We visited historic colonial Williamsburg, VA





I felt right at home in the Powhatan Indian village in Jamestown.


Scott was grinding corn for cornbread to go with our supper.

Checking out the three ships that the settlers used to sail across the pond. (it took 4 months, and no they are not the actual ships silly, only replicas)


ahoy!

Where is the water?

Tobacco anyone?

Inside re-created Jamestown settlement


We had to get a famous stuffed snow cone before we left Williamsburg and headed out to Fredericksburg. (Which by the way is said to be the most haunted towns in the USA)

We got to eat Puerto Rico Food for the first time since our honeymoon. In Virginia? It wasn't quite the same, but pretty dang close. Christy and Kent both approved.

Of course we had to go swimming at Aunt Christy's house! ElvisAnn is a water lover

ElvisAnn, Grandpa, and Cousin Ian

We finished off the trip with an ice cream cone. What a great ending to a great trip! Hopefully we will be able to see the family soon!

the tiger was on the prowl just outside the city of mariposa


We made it up the mist trail at vernal falls

Wood's Cove




This summer we have decided that we are going to check out every beach in Laguna. We have been to many of them but want to make sure that we have seen them all. Here we are at Wood's Cove it is a beautiful beach and a beautiful day!

What an Easter we had! ElvisAnn had a an Easter Egg hunt with her friends Diego, and Sofia. They had a lot of fun "hunting" for eggs and eating all the goodies. The Easter Bunny found our house and left a basketful of fun for ElvisAnn and Scott. We later went to my aunt's house and hung out with all the cousins. Needless to say Mommy, Daddy, and ElvisAnn were pooped by the end of the weekend!

Happy Birthday Diego! What a great 1st birthday party!


The Three Groms watching the action at the party

Time to stick the tooth on Diego, don't worry we did it on the picture

ElvisAnn had it right the first time but she changed her mind and decided to put it on his eye

Diego Pinata Time, don't worry we didn't hit the real Diego. Go Diego get the candy!

ElvisAnn was devastated when the Pinata was destroyed, she started crying hysterically.

We had such a good time at the party with all the kids. Can't wait till he turns 2!
