William's visit part 4 - Virginia Living Museum

Tuesday - Sarah's day off

William had spent the night at Auntie Sarah's in Caleb's room. She texted these photos to me the boys having breakfast in their PJs.



Sarah had made plans. James left our house at 7:15 am and went to join them. I did not go because I wanted to give my knee a rest Soon they were on their way to the Virginia Living Museum in Newport News. We didn't know much about it or even had heard about it but Sarah and James said it was a great success.








Oh yeah? Digging for dinosaur bones?



Besides "dead dinosaurs" there were a good number of live animals and everybody pretty much enjoyed everything from what I was told.

Ha, almost forgot to put    THIS VIDEO   (1:39)    into the blog.


Jellyfish! 







Sarah had brought a picnic for lunch.


Both were asleep soon after this photo was taken.


Sarah decided to go home via the ferry. The older boys were so so excited to be with the car on a boat. And they also saw an osprey nest with osprey  babies very close to the ferry.



Finally back home at Sarah's. Not much napping done. We were invited for dinner and I came with the second car. 


I helped Sarah put the twins in the bathtub. They were so exhausted that they didn't know what to do with themselves. Wade grilled some very nice burgers and we had an enjoyable dinner in the screened porch. Afterwards the older boys played very nicely together.


But then it was time for the three of us to go home ... in two cars. James had a very difficult time keeping William awake. I even called their car and discussed dessert to keep him awake.

At bedtime Helen has always done "Pillow talk" with William: what did you like best about today? Every evening it is "time with cousin Caleb".

What a fantastic place to take kids! Things sure have improved since Jessica was that age!
