Virginia Beach, VA

We drove to Virginia Beach for the weekend. Nate has been wanting to do something like this since we moved. We stayed at the "Ghetto-lodge" on the beach. It was very convenient and very cheap (not inexpensive, CHEAP). On Sat, Nate went and bought a surf board. He spent many hours on it, trying to relive his glory days in Hawaii. He insisted that we get up early on Sunday so he could catch more waves. I was in charge of picture taking, so I had to get up too.

Notice how the beach is empty?? Yup, it's THAT early.

Micah loved playing in the sand and in the water. He had no fear of the waves and laughed so hard every time one would knock him over.

We also bought a boogie board. I was able to catch a few waves myself. But I think the term "beached whale" took on a whole new meaning when I would try to stand up a the end of a ride.

Here are some of the other things that have happened.
Coonskin park

Micah is just learning to like slides and playgrounds. We also fed the ducks.

Loving Mama's Shoes

Micah has been fascinated with shoes lately. He loves to wear his, mine, and Nate's. I left my church shoes in front of the TV and he found them and put them on. He was so proud.
Hiding. Can you find me?

Micah's favorite spot is under the kitchen sink. He will sit in there an play for 20 min. Usually the doors are completely closed and I can hear him talking to himself.
New addition to our family.

Isn't it so pretty? A lady from our ward was getting a new piano, so she gifted us this one. It's old, but I learned to play on a yellow one from the 50's so this is a huge upgrade from that.
