Fun Adventures from this Week

This week my sister and her little boy, Levi, headed back to Virginia. We were sad to see them go. We had a good time hanging out with them. The children loved hanging out with their cousin. Kevin was especially good with Levi. They had fun together. Kevin could really get Levi laughing. It was really cute.

On Thursday, while Derek and my dad were at work, my mom and I took the kids to Maine to Fort McCleary. It is an old Fort that has been around for more than 275 years. The original buildings are gone. The "newer" building were built in the early 1800s. The fort sits right on the Ocean so that they could see ships coming in. However, as they said in their flier, being that the fort is in Maine, it saw very little fighting. :) Kevin really enjoyed the fort. Jared did pretty well, except when I held onto him so that he couldn't fall out of the open windows. :) He hates to be restrained. His favorite part was looking at the boats in the ocean. He loves water. Jenna wasn't really a fan. She kept saying she wanted to leave. She also enjoyed looking at the ocean.

After we finished looking at the fort we sat in my mom's car and ate lunch. While we were eating I was reading the flier I had picked up. It said there was a park and picnic area located across the street. We drove over and let the kids play for a little bit before heading home. The kids had a great time at the park. Kevin and Grandma even went for a little hike on a trail off of the park.

Today the kids got a special treat. Derek's mom, Nana as the kids call her, came to visit. She was only here for a few hours, but the kids really enjoyed seeing her. They had been looking forward to her visit. Thank you for going out of your way to see us. Enjoy the rest of your eastern vacation Nana!

Other than that, we have just been enjoying spending time with Grandma and Grandpa (my mom and dad). We are all being spoiled by our time here. :) Enjoy the pictures.

Obviously it didn't work
