Chincoteague Island

May 13-15, 2016
There was one last place on our DC to do list.  It was Chincoteague! Addison has been a horse lover since we have arrived in VA.  Well, even before that!  So, we couldn't leave the area without seeing the wild ponies!  We arrived at the State park and took a little hike.  We didn't see any ponies.  I was getting a little worried.  But, on our way to the beach we saw some.  They were a good distance out but we saw them.

We went to the beach, flew our kites and then a crazy rain storm came in.  After it passed we hiked another trail and saw some deer and other wildlife.  It was pretty neat.  Then we found a trail that got us a bit closer to the horses.  It was really pretty neat.  The next day we went to pet some horses and went to the little museum that housed Misty of Chincoteague.  The horse was actually stuffed.  We all had a good time.  It was nice to get away and not think about moving!



 We never can leave without treasures! 

 Playing at the beach!  It was nice to smell and taste salt water again! 













 There was a petting area so the kids could actually pet and feed some horses.  
 The REAL Misty of Chincoteague!  The one from the book! 




 It was a little rainy but not too bad! It was a lot less crowded! 
Horses!  Yay!  We saw them!  

May 2016

May 2016 brought with it a squeeze feeling.  All this moving stuff was happening for real!  The pressure was on as well as the sad feelings....it will be the last time to do.....

The beginning of May my cousin Jessie and her beautiful family came to visit.  We truly wondered why took us so long!  We were only a few hours apart.  We went to the Natural History museum and then back to their hotel for pizza and swimming.  Landon and Maddox had a great time!




Mother's Day
There was a Mother's Day tea at school and Landon sang and did a great job.  He presented me with all kinds of sweet gifts.  



 Bev and Landon
 The Mrs Moore's 

 Mother's Day was good.  We worked on a project which was super fun. We tried to make it "normal" despite all the crazy moving stuff. 



 I am blessed with beautiful kiddos! I truly am a very lucky mommy!

SOCCER!
Landon and Kyle were on the same team again.  They are quite the little superstars!  They have great team work and it almost isn't fair if they are out there together.  Coach Brian has done a great job and Landon has really enjoyed Soccer!!  



 Addi doing what Addi does....she reads!  She doesn't go anywhere without a notebook, pen and a book!  I adore my little book worm!  

 One good looking soccer player!!  

 Kyle and Landon have gotten to be great friends! Especially good pals at soccer!
