Viva Valdez: Valdez Lake Visit

We were roadtriping for most of July. Our first stop was at the Valdez Lake house in Lake Anna. We had so much fun with the family, stuffed our faces with food from the grill masters, swam lots, played with gadgets, boated, the whole nine yards. There was a definite hole without Greg and Candace though. We missed you both! We played Wits and Wagers which is one of my new favorite games as well.

This was her face the majority of the time here

This was unposed I swear!

Whenever you hold Ellie in one hand and food in the other, she ALWAYS grabs at it and sticks it in her mouth as quickly as possible. She definitely inherited Greg's, "Hey man, are you going to eat that?"

Filling up the pools is her favorite part.

What a stately dog

An Eric sighting!

They are a little bit spoiled eh?

Ellie was too big for the infant life jacket and the toddler life jacket was like a straight jacket for her. Once again, I am evil for laughing at how upset this makes her. PS- Love those thighs!

Since Pop Pops always lets Ava drive his boat Ava now thinks that she can drive. She screams in the car that she wants to drive. I told her she has to wait 14 years and she says, "NO MOMMA I DON'T I CAN DRIVE A BOAT! ASK POP POPS!!!!"
