Sweet Strawberries

The berries were good again this year. Such a nice farm and fun to be with just Sam and Cam and of course Nana.

The BIGGEST

We had to eat some. We couldn't help ourselves.

Cap to Cap

I rode my first 50 mile ride! We started in Richmond and then looped back. It was hard and I didn't train as much as I should have, but I made it and I would like to do it again. It is so fun to have a bike again and I loved riding with Becca, Belva and Audrey. Audrey saved my life at that windy stretch at mile 43. Seriously, an answer to a prayer.

My support team leader. Matt, Cam and Sam came to cheer me on. Maybe next year Matt can ride, if we get his bike fixed up.

Loosey Goosey

Number 2 is out.

Easter

Our 5th bucket head boy

 This was right before we took Matt to the airport.  He spent three weeks in Oklahoma for work.

We're getting excited for our Disneyworld trip later this year

Cherries

Our early morning cherry blossom walk. We often have gone at sunset but I'm a new fan of the colors in the morning, and less crowds. The pinks are so soft and tranquil. The reflections are clear because the water is so calm. It is exquisitely beautiful in person. I am always disappointed with my pictures. I'm hoping someday to get one that matches the real life experience.

Airplane Park

This park is really called Gravelly point but we call it airplane park.  On the right kind of day it is soooo fun.  You are literally under the plane as it makes the final turn and lands at Reagan airport.  The air does this whooshy thing and it's loud.  This time they had fun trying to race the planes.  They never won.  I think the other people in the park were looking at me like I was crazy because I show up with these four boys who can't stop wrestling and running all over.  But, I let them be boys and I hope they remember this day.   I will.

I guess I need to lose some weight.  I'm killing Spencer.

Silence please

We hadn't been to Arlington for awhile so I thought the boys needed to see the changing of the guard again.  It is a very impressive ceremony that made quite an impression on the boys.  They were immitating it for a week.
