virginia - part two

The kids did great on the plane, and we had a relatively uneventful trip to Richmond. When we got to the airport, David's Aunt and Uncle were nice enough to meet us there with three car seats for the kids. It was so nice not to have to lug ours on the plane, and not to have to pay to rent them. We rented a mini van, which David became obsessed with, all piled in and headed to their house.
We met David's cousin Logan, her husband John, and their cute kids Stella and Whit for a pizza dinner in downtown Richmond, and then walked down to a little farmers market that was going on. After a long day of travel, we decided the kids had had enough and headed back to go to sleep.
Saturday morning the kids were up bright and early, and when Uncle Roy mentioned he needed to clean up the patio for that evenings family bbq, the kids wanted to help!



The weather was beautiful, almost chilly, and they loved being outside. It was such a pretty day we decided to spend some time at their country club pool.
Here we met up with some more cousins: Andy & Brooke with their little one Judson, Clay & Stephanie with their two boys Turner and James, and Lee & Casey.
We had so much fun!

Bennett even thought about jumping off of the diving board....



But then changed his mind....



Lila looking at her shadow (this pic reminds me of one of my favs from the Brister Blog)....



And Elise swimming with Uncle Roy and James....

It was a great day at the pool, and a good way to gear up for the big BBQ that night!
