Ardan's First VA Trip

We had a great trip to Virginia last week and were so excited to see friends and family.  Ardan did great on the flight there and was reluctant to leave all of his new friends he played with while in Virginia, but he did miss his puppies at home.

I took Ardan to my old hair dresser for his first "official" hair cut.

We played at the pool with Allison, Kaitlyn and Nancy for Smith/Johnson day.  Kathryn even stopped by to meet Ardan!  We were in the pool for 2 hours swimming around and Ardan would have stayed all day if Mommy had let him, we have a great time.

 Swinging and playing in the sand box at Papa Sam's and DD's was so fun.  He also helped Papa Sam water the flowers, just like he helps Mommy at home water them.

 We went to the new local park to play.

 And Ardan did some housework...even finding the pots and pans Mommy and Uncle Evan played with when they were babies.

 Ardan's Great Aunt Dottie and Uncle Lee came down for the weekend and we all went to Young Farmer's Day and the local Farmer's Museum where Papa Sam volunteers.  It was fun playing the the dirt, riding on tractors and playing with chicken.

 

We had a retirement party for DD and Ardan slept through most of it, but did finally wake up to play with Colt before he left.

 It was so good to see Uncle Evan.  We all went to Westmoreland State Park and Stratford Hall on Monday to play in the Potomac River and hunt for sharks teeth.  We found some (well Papa Sam and Mommy did).

 Ardan and Papa Sam had fun playing in the airport before we left.  DD was able to come back to WA with us for the week to play.  Papa Sam called the day after we got back and complained that he didn't have anyone to play with :(
