Kimble Family: January 2015
http://kimblefamily.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 10. More Time in D.C. It seems like we've been several times in our first year here, but there are so many landmarks still to see. We've no choice but to come back again in a few weeks. A Must See Maritime Museum. After some lunch, we decided to do some more exploring and discovered Fort Monroe, a recently decommissioned base (with a moat! Where Robert E. Lee served as a young officer and engineer and where Jefferson Davis would later be held captive but never be tried for his role ...

Kimble Family: February 2015
http://kimblefamily.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 26. Jack Frost has been hanging around the Center of the Universe. Hyrum is up to 5 snow days out of the last 8 and I've had a couple myself. This time it was Tara's turn to play in the snow and my turn to cuddle with a cute girl on the couch. Tara helped the boys build a snow fort (Translation: The boys watched Tara make a snow fort). Hyrum cleaned off the car. Adorable. Warm. Relaxed. Hyrum died on what's left of our last snowman. Why are you looking at me, Dad? Hyrum got a bad idea.

Kimble Family: November 2014
http://kimblefamily.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 23. It was a fun visit, though a little frigid early on. The demonstration of the revolution-era rifle at Yorktown is still one of my favorite things. The boys' like the three replicated ships at Jamestown best. And Allie most enjoyed anything that was inside. The norm was to send your kids sailing at 10 years old and collect their pay. So we thought we'd let the boys practice a bit. Mom and Dad are going to need that retirement. Chillin' with G.W. Saturday, November 22. It has been abou...

Kimble Family: June 2014
http://kimblefamily.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 30. A Spontaneous Intro to Night Hiking. Our latest outdoor adventure, already three weeks behind us, was a camping trip to Sky Meadows in Northern Virginia. I reserved a campsite in advance, because that's the only way you'll ever get one in Virginia, and we were all excited to go. We set out to do just that with some vigor. I grabbed our tent, a sleeping bag, and the duffel bag we were using in lieu of a proper hiking pack and started out ahead. If I could move quickly, I might be ...Brisk...

Kimble Family: Luray Caverns
http://kimblefamily.blogspot.com/2015/07/luray-caverns.html
Thursday, July 30. Tara and Allie had a good time. Hyrum kept confirming that dragons, if real at all, didn't live there anymore. I'm not convinced that Camden ever realized he was in a cave at all. This was "the Cathedral" where the Stalacpipe Organ played "A Mighty Fortress is Our God" using the rock formations around the room. Way cool- and a German song, by the way. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). New York and Pennsylvania. A Small Town 4th. Testimony of my Own. I Lost My Marbles.

Kimble Family: October 2014
http://kimblefamily.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 26. We headed to a nearby pumpkin patch this weekend to let the boys pick their own pumpkins. They thought it was the greatest way to pay way too much for a pumpkin that anyone could conceive. They're probably right. Thursday, October 23. Over the River and Through the Woods. We rode on a plane to go see Grandma. Inside the boys started to appreciate their environment. Camden especially liked watching the planes taking off, landing, boarding and getting fueled. We blessed Allie in our old...

New York and Pennsylvania. This is what George Washington really looked like. Allie took every opportunity to walk in...

Kimble Family: May 2015
http://kimblefamily.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 30. A year ago we had a spontaneous introduction to night hiking when our tent broke at a campsite that was a mile or so from the parking lot where we left our car. We were defeated that night but still astonished at the beauty of one of Virginia's incredible state parks. Allie talked and giggled in her pack- she loves that thing (and she's a chatterbox). One of the deer he found. Camping at Sky Meadows. Camden staying where it is safe. After we got the tent set up, Hyrum told Tara that he ...

Kimble Family: September 2014
http://kimblefamily.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 28. This summer we got passes to King's Dominion, an amusement park just a few minutes from Ashland. We went often- sometimes several times in a week- and always had a great time. Saturday we decided to go again for what may be our last time this season. After a summer of pregnancy, Tara finally got to go on the rides! Gettin' a little crazy on Lucy's Tugboat. The Halloween decorations were out. Also, there was a giant spider on the lawn. Hyrum took Mommy on his favorite ride. After wal...

Kimble Family: Busch Gardens
http://kimblefamily.blogspot.com/2015/05/busch-gardens.html
Sunday, May 17. When we moved to Virginia last year, one of the things we were excited about was Planet Snoopy. Camden was a huge Peanuts fan and it was awesome that the park was only 15 minutes away and Camden got in free. Our whole family got passes to the larger park and waterpark, Kings Dominion, and we had an awesome summer. It took a few minutes to get him to stop jumping up and down when we got there. The sheep is Scottish. The boys actually are too. Camden flew DaVinci's kite like it was old news.
