We went to Roy Rogers. I really really did not want to take the kids to a place you have to sit down to eat. But Dan likes to take them to Roy Rogers because there is a gumball machine and if you get a certain color, you get a free ice cream cone. So the girls LOVE to go there. Up till this day, I had never been inside, and to be honest, I'd be happy if I didn't do that again. I was already grumpy and tired when we got there. Then watching my children run amok and act like they had never heard of parental supervision was just not much fun. I pretended I didn't know them. But this moment was so cute. Callie got her ice cream and Rylee wanted a lick. Callie was so sweet to share and I laughed to see her licking along with Rylee. I love my thoughtful kid!
On Saturday, Joshua and Dan and Marian went to help out at a volunteer farm. I think they had a good time. I know service usually ends up being a lot more fun than it sounds, and this was a 4 hour block to remove rocks from the fields and do a little planting. Dan said it was good, but the kids were ready for snacks after an hour and a half. Since I didn't hear any complaints, it must have been fun for them. I know Callie and Delaney were outraged that they didn't get to go too! I drove down to meet them when they were done.
And then we went to Luray Caverns! WAY COOL! The kids loved the audio tour, and enjoyed checking out all the amazing things to see. And it was amazing!
This little puddle reflected the roof back and it was breathtaking. It is amazing what nature can create. Check out Callie and her headphones. She listened and loved the whole audio tour.
I thought this rock formation looked like a dinosaur, so I had to take a picture of Marian next to it. She thought her friend Adrian would like it.
Here's Joshua in front of some cool stuff. The whole cave was just jaw-dropping.
Rylee is being coy for me. Her hair is now barely long enough to put 2 pigtails in and she is so adorable! But not happy to get a picture taken. This is her trying to run away.
Delaney did her own hair today! Then she had Nutella on toast that she made herself. She wanted a picture taken, and this was her pose. She's a terrific girl!
Delaney's preschool had their end of the year program. Delaney was funny. She saw me and was waving and she looked attentive, but only sang half the words. The program was great; it was short and sweet!
After the preschool program, they had a picnic on the playground. I couldn't believe Delaney ate everything I bought for her AND Rylee. And when she got home, she had a slice of leftover pizza. I guess she was a hungry girl.
They passed out popsicles to all the kids and Rylee was not going to stop eating hers to play. She had a tight fist on hers as she wandered around the playground.
We did not stay long. It was reaching 90 degrees and the humidity was awful. Just standing in the shade made me sweat. I guess the kids were affected by it as well, since they up and left when I said it was time to go.
