We recently visited Aunty Teela in Virginia and enjoyed some AMAZING weather. We even went to the beach, although Darwyn was the only one brave (crazy) enough to go in the water. Besides the beach, the kid's enjoyed botanical gardens, multiple children's museums, an aviary and a zoo. We took lots of pictures (see below). For half the visit, Dad, Jose and Teela watched all the kids on their own while Gus and I frantically renovated our kitchen.
This book was a real page turner.
Darwyn goes swimming in February!
The botanical gardens were actually quite beautiful given that it was winter
The botanical garden had a neat kaleidoscope display. You pointed it
at a turning pot of flowers and watched the image change. The video below
shows what the kids saw in the kaleidoscope.
This might get the picture of the year award.
This bird was named Gus. The kids found that very exciting.
