Delayed post of Katies birthday - 2 posts in one day!!!!!

Katie's birthday this year was celebrated in style with a walking tour of this beautiful manor - just two blocks from our home... Morven Park - the home and resting place of Governor Westmoreland Davis.

Katie finds a cool and shaded moment under the leaves!
Chris looks quite lion king like!
A rest stop with Eric and Katie amoung the wild flowers
Lauren got a kick out of the cannon and log forts for the civil war re-enactors

Eric never misses a climbing opportunity!


Cooling off in the pond and fountains!
Can't miss a flower photo op!
Silly kids!!!!
A nice day for a walk of the grounds. Now to some birthday events. Just look at the fun loot!Time for cake.....WATCH OUT I can't get enough of the group pictures... Love these folks! They even stuck around the next day to help me with a project. I wanted to block a hole in the garden with some rocks so we headed out to the Potomac River - about 2 miles away to Red Rock Overlook to gather just the right rocks. We played in the water and Chris lugged a full bucket of rocks all the way to the car. What a nice man!!!!Thanks for sharing the weekend with me everyone!
