Grandma Paulette and Aunt Arlene came to Virginia!!
We had a fabulous week together, filled with different (mostly hot) activities. The weather was scorching during their visit (90-110!!!), but it all worked out. We had lots of pool time to cool off! We visited the beach, the Virginia Childrens Museum, Norfolk Botanical Gardens, and the park! Oh, and no trip here is complete without a drive around the naval base! Here are many of my pictures from our time together. I should note....Arlene was gone for 4 days while she spent time at a friend's place in North Carolina, so she is missing in many photos!

Clearing the dishes
Abby testing her strength. This section was FULL of fun science tools to learn levers, pulleys, and heat & weight effects!
Heavier than an elephant??
This red ball does not come out of the hole, but Maddy was determined to try.....to no avail!
Norfolk Botanical Gardens:
Military Beach:
Aunt Arlene brought the girls these adorable matching REI swim sets with rashguard and shorts! Perfect for our summer sun fun!
Abby & Arlene checking out the waves
Maddy still isn't a big beach fan, but she found a few happy moments to play in the sand.
Dinner out at "Chicks Beach Oyster Bar" on the Chesapeake Bay
(We ate outside to avoid a wait, and were sweating our way through dinner. Still tasty!!)
Closest shot to us all looking in the same direction.....2 out of 4 isn't bad, right?
Local Park near our house:
Grandma....Great-Grandma......LOVE & FAMILY!
POOL TIME:
Silly Aunt Arlene, monkeying around in the pool! Abby loved swimming with Arlene & Grandma!
They even swam this morning before heading to the airport!
