washington adventures with eric, rachel, addelyn and payne: March 2011

I've been trying to upload pictures from the start of our trip in Greenbrier, but for some reason they won't upload-so I'll just try again and go backwards! :)

We stayed in Greenbrier the first few days to visit the Warren family and then headed down to Leipers Fork to see the rest of the gang. It was a fabulous and fun-packed week! I narrowed the pictures down but there are still a ton! Adde will just sit at the computer and watch all of them run through a slideshow-she had the time of her life. She keeps asking if we can go back to Tennessee!

Adde and "baby James" as she calls him

my precious friend Rachel came from Memphis to see us for just a couple of hours - so good to see her and give her a hug! miss you friend! thanks so much for coming!

Library Day - Nonie took the younger Fish kiddos and Addelyn to the Library for story time - it was SUPER FUN!!! I love how Adde and Josiah are holding hands - so sweet! :)

getting ready to cross the street

watching Dora with Pops

we went and had lunch with Caleb and Anna Blair at school one day

so fun

Addelyn was helping Nonie pack Pop's lunch

Payne and Belle got along QUITE well

it's funny for me when the kdidos are playing with my old toys....so I had to pose Payne with Rosa Jalina and Leah Meli - my cabbage patch kids from long ago!

Adde enjoyed playing with them too

Payne just liked the cowboy hat

silly boy

having fun with Nonie

the Fish cousins came over and they discovered the "field of purple flowers" - all of them were SO EXCITED!!!! it was super cute!

Leah with flowers in her hair

Payne loves his Aunt Cassie

me and Papa always have to get a picture together - it's tradition

Addelyn was introduced to hay bail hoppin' by her cousins - this marked the beginning of her favorite past time!!!!

and she jumped and missed the hay bail one time-she was COVERED in who knows what? I was cleaning it out of her nose and mouth for the rest of the day-but she didn't care and kept on jumping!

well he couldn't hay bail hop-so the next best thing was to eat the hay

Addelyn was super excited to ride on Papa's chair with him
