It’s been while since we’ve taken a family road trip. This summer we went to Virginia by way of Ohio. The kids were especially entertained by several tunnels on our route. Each time, Erik would hold his breath until we got to the other side, which tickled the kids. Of course they tried also, and I think I noticed a couple of them with tight lips and puffed out cheeks breathing away through their noses.
Caleb’s chief pass time was cutting paper. It was great!Literally hours of quite, concentrated, happy snipping.
We spent an afternoon visiting Grampy and Grammy Dear, and Nate had a fly fishing lesson in the driveway.

We also enjoyed spending a little time with Erik’s Uncle Ted and Aunt Maggie who graciously hosted us in their lovely home, fed us two delicious meals, and (Maggie) shared homeschooling ideas, books and encouragement. A quick visit, but well worth the drive.
Saturday afternoon we arrived in Virginia to join Paul and Darian, the Forstroms and the Johnsons. We attended church with the Veerman and Velker cousins on Sunday (and later that week they had us all over for dinner.)
Finally, that afternoon the vacation really started when we hit the pool. Caleb loved the freedom of his water wings.
Uncle Nate was such a good sport.
