Dad and Phoebe's visit.

Dad and Phoebe stayed with us for a few days this week. They are taking a road trip from their home in San Antonio, NM and stopping across the country to visit family and friends on the way up to Eastern Canada. While they were here, we took a tour of a battlefield, went out for burgers at 5 Guys, and hung out at the house. Dad also cooked dinner for us one night, which was a real treat.


Here's Dad pushing Molly's stroller. We went for a walk to the pond one evening at sunset, so it was nearly dark when we got home.



One day, we decided to go for a picnic in the park at Dutch Gap, near the James River. We loaded up the car with our stuff and food from KFC and made our way to the park. The ride through the industrial part of town is a deceptive introduction to such a peaceful overlook to a bend in the river and a bridge.



Molly had never really had a chance to walk on grass and dirt before. She's just now getting her balance and coordination...and a pair of summer sandals to make it easier.


Always a photo-op.

What's beyond the fence? A whole vast world full of things yet to be discovered.


But before I discover the world, I need help walking back to the table.


Mommy, I wanted to eat those crunchy leaves and twigs.
