virginia - part five

It seems crazy that I am breaking up a 3 day trip into so many posts, but we crammed a lot into those three days and I don't want to leave anything out!

After recovering from Maymont, we headed to downtown Richmond to Logan and John's house. They have an incredible old house (oh how I love old homes), and it was filled to the brim with Allisons, Parnells, and Vetrovecs. It was so much fun to spend more time together, as well as to get to know John's family.

The kids picked up where they had left off the night before and immediately started playing...

James gave Elise, Stella, and Judson a wagon ride (what a strong little thing!) down the sidewalk...which was a beautiful herringbone brick pattern....

Elise found some dress up in Stella's room and changed clothes! James was goofing around.....

Lila ended up in the same dress up later on in the night! (of course!)

Elise and sweet little Judson....

James, Elise, Judson, and Stella...

Stella and Elise...

Logan, Whit, and John....

The WHOLE gang!!!!!!!

I was watching the kids upstairs playing in Stella's room and they decided to form a band....

Turner on drums, James on the turntable, Elise on keys, Lila on cymbals, and Bennett on guitar....

Elise would start off the jam with, "1, 2, a 1, 2, 3, 4" and then the "music" would begin....they had a blast, and I had a blast watching them!!

I know it was a lot of work for Logan and John with two small kids to host a party of this kind...we are truly so appreciate to them basically devoting their whole Labor Day weekend to us! Thank you, thank you!!

Monday morning we headed down to David's cousin's coffee shop, The Black Hand, and had a delicious breakfast and awesome cup of coffee....

One last lunch with Kay, Roy, Lee, and Casey, and then it was time for the trip to come to an end.....

So we sadly said our goodbyes!

It was a great way to spend a weekend and we are so thankful to Roy and Kay for letting us basically take over their house for 3 days. We love ya'll!
