Lake Anna

This year we managed to coordinate schedules to take a weekend trip with some friends to Lake Anna, which is just an hour outside of Richmond. Ten adults and seven kids - it's hard to find a house to fit all of us but somehow we managed!

Girls huddle!

Parker and Jacob enjoying some morning TV time.

Love these two boys!

Even big kids need to take a break after a day playing outside!

Kelli and I

Brandon and I showing off our Game of Thrones shirts (we didn't even plan this!)

Parker practiced paddling Daddy around in the kayak!

Ainsley and Beatrix - the kids spent all day long swimming and we had perfect weather for it!


All the kids going for a ride (minus baby Eliza)!

The weekend trip happened to fall on Chris and Kelli's wedding anniversary, so the girls secretly worked with Chris to plan a vow renewal. She was so surprised when we all showed up dressed in our awesome hot pink bridesmaid dresses that we found on eBay!


We bought dresses for Kelli and the girls to wear. 


"Priest Eric" had the vows and the bible ready!



The whole 'wedding' party!

What do you do when you are wearing ugly $9 bridemaid dresses? You jump in the lake!













Enjoying some s'mores by the campfire!



The weekend went by so fast but it was a great time! It's so hard to find time to get together with all our friends with everyone leading such busy lives. But whenever we get a chance to see people we are reminded of how lucky we are to have such a great support network. We hope we'll have a chance to catch up with other friends this summer - we'll see many of them at the neighborhood pool, at summer bbq's, and of course at JMU football games this fall!  This trip was a great way to start off the summer!

Attempted Baking Projects

Image
I’m sure I’m not the only one who started this quarantine and thought the Zombie Apocalypse was imminent. I did what all normal apocalyptic-preparers would do - I filled our extra 60 gallon water containers, I checked the date on my bucket of freeze-dried food, and I stocked up on canned goods and baking essentials. Clearly the stores would be completely shuttered and I was going to have to make my own bread and can my own vegetables by the time we emerged from quarantine. Well, we all know things didn’t turn out quite that bad, but an Ayres is always prepared!  I’ve had a fully stocked pantry of baking ingredients so I’ve worked hard to keep something on the counter to eat at all times. Today I attempted cinnamon squares.  The yeast didn’t rise as much as I thought it should’ve, and I didn’t include the pecans that the recipe called for since I have some nut-haters in the family.  So you roll out the dough and the spread some of the filling, which was easier said than done.  Then you

Momming Hard Day 9... until the end of time

Things were rolling along quite nicely yesterday (well, not really but let's not get caught up in subtraction regrouping lessons).  We were getting ourselves set up for success on this temporary schedule. We were learning things and reading things and writing things and then... the bottom dropped out. The governor announced all schools are closed for the rest of the year.  I'm sure all the other parents watching the news conference had the same physical reaction that I did. I felt like I'd been punched in the gut. Tears, anger, disbelief... my poor children. ALL these poor children. When they left for spring break they didn't realize it would be the last time they'd see their friends. The last time they'd see their teachers. Ainsley, in particular, is taking it the hardest. She's missing her last Lower School play. Her last Grandparents Day show.  No field day.  No fifth grade graduation. No class graduation party. She is heartbroken. The next time she sets

Finishing up in California

Image
A few finishing touches before wrapp ing up my trip to San Francisco. My final presentation went well, and I had a beautiful final day to spend in the city. Fisherman's Wharf My kind of place!  . One final visit to the sea lions Golden Gate Bridge One more glass of great California wine. My trip home was a little more stressful than I had hoped. Due to mechanical problems with the plane, I was re-routed and ended up spending a good part of the day and night either on a plane or in an airport. However things worked out and I made it safely home!
