Shenandoah Crossing Resort

We took Austin to the Shenandoah Crossing resort in the Blue Ridge Mountains to close out our summer of vacationing. It was a nice relaxing place and a good way to spend our last week here in good old Virginia. We have had such a busy summer, but it certainly won't stop us from doing it again next year. Austin has such a great time seeing new places and to us that is worth the hustle and bustle and all the planning. Everyone always says,"They grow up so fast...enjoy them." We try to live by that.

Playing in the pool with his new friend






Mini Golf




Driving the horses

Austin was so excited that he was asked to help drive the horses...He did a great job too. He would say woooh at all the stops signs.

Horse drawn carriage



Fishing







We like them crispy...



Roasting Marsh mallows

We were just roasting some marsh mallows, but a boy is not a boy without some type of odd behavior.

Feeding the babies

Austin got to feed baby kittens up in Richmond when we went to visit the girls. We had a great time. The kittens were gorgeous.

At the Dolphin show...we got a little wet, not as wet as we got at the shamu show though. Austin was so excited that the big fish splashed him.

The Dolphins were hapy to pose for any picture.

California day 4 (Sea World)

He loved every minute of Sea World. 3 years is a great age for things like this...everything is exciting to him no matter how small the exhibit. If you asked him what he like best it would be anything from the little penguins to the big shamu show.
