Virginia Water Sports

Merk went home early, so Dad and I were left to our own devices to keep the boys entertained.

Our first attempt was fishing. Dad's girlfriend Karen lives on an awesome lake and let us use her boat.

Max was more interested in the tackle box than actually fishing.

I know it's hard to believe, but there's a fish on that line. It must have been two inches long. We threw it back.


This one's a keeper!

The next day we took the boys sailing on the Potomac.

It was a picture perfect day and the river was gorgeous. I grew up sailing with my dad so it was great to be on the boat again. The boys were a little scared and were more interested in the bugs than being on a sailboat. All in all, it was a great trip and I can't wait to do it all again next year.

Virginia Camping

Towards the end of the summer, we took the boys to visit my Dad in Virginia. We always do a lot of outdoor things there and the boys love it. Of course, they always love hanging out with Grandpa Joe. Here are some highlights from the camping part of the trip.

Max helped Grandpa Joe do everything. He was a little shadow the entire trip.


I still can't believe he fell asleep that way.



We went hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I love it there. It is definitely on of my favorite places.





I don't know if he was just tired or if he wanted to make sure we didn't forget him.


All tuckered out.
