We had a great visit Friday night. Dana had been in Lynchburg for the day and brought Jordan back with her. The cousins had a great time playing and stayed up very, very late!! We drove up to the Peaks early afternoon and got a great place for a picnic. The children played, adults visited and the food was awesome.
Aunt Becky took this one of me a Becca. I can't tell who she looks like in this picture.
Here are a few of the drive. Yes, I took these while driving!! I forgot how much I missed the sky line at home. Jack said something cute on the ride to Dad and Dana's. Jack: "Look mommy at those big mountains. They are bigger than a hill. Mommy those mountains are blue mountains mommy!" I loved that he figured why they are named the Blue Ridge Mountains. Maybe a 3 year old way back when was responsible for naming them...
We had a great time and I didn't want to leave everyone. I never get enough time to visit with my family and I wish I lived closer. But we left around 7 pm and it was the hardest drive for me. I was so tired that I got a cup if Mickey D's coffee in Bedford and Farmville. (which is not half bad!) Molly and Jack sacked out before we left Bedford. Yep, I took these while driving too. Aren't they cute??!!
Sunday morning was lots of fun. Molly and Jack get so excited about holidays, birthdays, a new season, you name it. Becca, who was also excited it was Mother's Day, got up at 5 am. :)By the time I got her settled back down, they rest of the crew woke up. They made me a big breakfast, gave me a new plant for my garden, and gave me lots of cards and things that they made for the occasion. It was great. I got to take a l-o-n-g nap and they picked up my favorite Chinese take out for dinner. All in all, a great day.

Jenni, I meant to thank you for showing pictures of the mountains in Virginia the other day. I miss them, but they are nothing like the giants here in Nevada. At a distance, ours are blue, too. I am still amazed of the beauty here.
Love Helen
