Soccer in Virginia Beach

AJ's travel team plans about half of their games at home in C'ville, and the other half mostly in Richmond. Which is actually delightful. However, there's usually at least 1 game in Roanoke area, and 1 game in Virginia Beach. This is less delightful, mostly because it's an incredible schlep (esp when the weather is still nice and people are actally going to the Beach) and somehow we miscalcuated the (car) charge and ended up topping off at a random gas station where AJ was able to find some green veggie and the rest of us got coffee. It did make the ride home seeem even more interminable than is typical, but we persevered.

Rocky Top-ping It

In the grand tradition of Clue (but in reverse) I don't know because I wasn't there - I was probably doing something boring, like work - but Wes and AJ got their climbing on after school and lo and behold, here's a cool pic of AJ slaying.

Whipped Cream 2k24

So for years Ez and Z were the house whippers of cream (Exhibit A and Exhibit B) but with the both of them off in Obieland, the little sibs have had to step in and take over. And they're doing it with quite a lot of panache, if I do say so myself!

Milla comes to visit!

Milla, one of our favoritest camp counselor friends, made a little stop in C'ville on her way back to Finland. We got to go do lots of hiking and other fun things, and even went on roller coasters at King's Dominion, but I feel like this picture captures our exploits perfectly.
