A Visit with Aunt Ashelyn

 Two weeks ago, we enjoyed a visit from my sister. She came to visit us up here as we were in the process of buying our home last year but before we closed on the house. So this was her first visit since we were actually in the house. Usually, we get to see her when we visit NC, but this was her Spring Break week so she was able to come up for a couple of days at the end of the week. She and the girls enjoyed some time together on Thursday while I worked. 
Brent decided to try the spiky hair look today since he had a recent haircut. I guarantee this is the only time he has ever had mousse in his hair. This will also be the last pictures you see of him this post. He ended up with the stomach flu that Rachel had earlier in the week.  So he wasn't up to having his picture taken for a few days!
 Friday gave Ashelyn and I some time together to visit. Aunt Ashelyn likes to read almost as much as I do so we took her to a place she was sure to love...the Green Valley Book Fair!
Sure enough, we spent a big part of the afternoon here as she enjoyed checking out alot of the books. She and I actually came back Friday evening and sat and each read a book we had gotten. We actually ended up having a race to see who could finish their book first. Ok, so she finished first but my book was longer...yes, I know, what can I say, we really like to read.
 After the book fair, we headed into Staunton to Gypsy Hill Park. We like to bring family here because the girls enjoy the park and showing it all to our family. The girls began at the swings and took Aunt Ashelyn all around the upper playground.
 Aunt Ashelyn enjoys photography as well. She actually got the camera from me and got several really good pictures of  the girls and I.



 And here is  my child who has tried to climb (even though lots of times I wouldn't let her) to the highest part of the playground equipment she could find from the time she figured out what a playground was!
 



 After the playground area, we headed to the duck pond for a few minutes. I didn't get a picture of it but one duck actually figured out how to get through the fence and came up close to try to get us to feed him

Aunt Ashelyn, we had a great visit with you. Thanks for coming to see us! We Love you very much!
