We Went Fishing at Lake Anna.

The weather was perfect.  Not too hot, not too cold.  Zero humidity.  In AUGUST!  Unbelievable.  The fish were biting.  Trevor caught the most but Heather in a last ditch effort caught the biggest bass I've ever seen and snapped the line while hauling it up.  We caught him on the deck.  She used one of Trevor's new fishing lures - Trevor was so proud for picking a great lure.  I was pretty impressed!  They caught skinks, a katydid, a brown fuzzy caterpillar and various toads and frogs in their one day there as well. Quite the little nature freaks!

We Went Putt-Putting at Upton Hill as a Summer Treat.

Having Lunch with Mom at Work.

They love the food trucks - CHIC-FIL-A FOOD TRUCK MOM?!

Corn Toss for ALS.

The kids and I joined for an important cause - to help fight ALS and secure more funding.  It was boiling hot but we headed to Washington DC and joined the boss and had a blast.  Their team name was BabyCorn.  They played adults and did a respectable representation.  I teamed up with Mike and we were the Dynamite Daimlers.  We placed fourth.

 

 

Just Hanging Out on a Hot Day.

Night Hike at Huntley Meadows.

The kids were exited to use their headlamps.  We found a baby muskrat, some green tree frogs, some herons, and watched some bug folks who were doing a moth study.  They were kind enough to take time away from their research and show the kids some of their finds - some of the moths were pretty cool.  A wolf spider came scurrying out due to all of the activity - I was pretty sketched out but Heather loved it!

What a Busy Time It's Been!

Trevor has been in summer school, work has been running long and we've crammed in as many activities as possible.  Some events I had time to snap a few pics and some I didn't.  We've been swimming at friends and family pools, on multiple hikes, played in the water slide, visited the petting zoo, putt putted and more!
