Blog update

Wow...we finally did it, we cannot upload anymore photos to our blog because we have exceeded our maximum photo storage allowance. Since we do not want to delete any of our posts, we are considering a new blog adress...or purchasing more storage space...probably the former.

More later!

street hockey

After a long trip back to VA from Ocean City, we don't relax...we play street hockey and make cupcakes.

Licking the beaters the wrong way...

and the right way.

Hiking!...again!

As you can see...there were mixed feelings about this hike.

But when we saw the cougar...that was pretty awesome!

The wolf was cool too...but he stole Josie's sandwich...which was a little rude.

Just Kidding!

We were hiking at Northwest Trek! They have a nice "Nature Trail" that we hiking on for a couple hours, then we visited the animal portion of the park.

First Aid

Josie touched a lot of plants at the start of the trip and her fingers got very itchy.

Sue remembered hearing on a past trip to NW Trek that slug slime is a good remedy for itchy plants...so we tried it out.

It actually worked! Josie's fingers felt better after. Now what's the cure for gross slug slime hand?

Slug City

We saw a ton of slugs, and we stopped to look at almost all of them. Josie would tickle each one with a leaf and then put the leaf on top of it to give it shade.

This slug had a shell. We named it Gary after Spongebob's pet snail. Meow!

Smaller black slug

Very large brown slug (that's Josie's hand).

After our hike...

We enjoyed the animals at NW Trek.

Ry read this sign, though by the time I got the camera out he was inspecting his trail mix.

Josie was checking out a bug until Ry and his trail mix showed up.

Even this porcupine wanted to know what was in that trail mix. FYI, it was pretzel sticks, rice chex, combos, sunflower seeds and sixlets.

Two kid photos

Not your usual school supplies...

I'm thinking of having stocks installed at home. I think this may make time-outs more effective.

Not even the beach can keep us away from a bookstore for long.

Josie and her souvenir.

Josie gave Bubba a break from riding bikes because he was getting tired. I'm sure he appreciated that.

And at the other end.

I can't pass up a game of Dance Dance Revolution at the boardwalk arcades.
