Weekend in Virginia- Part Three (Traditions)


For the last four years, whenever we get together with Jeff's family we have had a "themed" meal together. The last three years have been a Luau, Mexican, and Italian theme complete with attire and decorations. This summer was no different. Jeff's Mom is amazing in her ability to plan these meals and make them so much fun! This year we had a Cowboy/Cowgirl Theme with steaks, potatoes, and beans. We also had "cowpie" brownie cookies with ice cream sundaes, and hats and bandanas for all!



The Bed and Breakfast went along well with the theme as they had a riding horse for kids to play on!




Ben loved being a cowboy, but was not willing to give up the swim goggles!!!


The older grandkids all got to stay up and watch a movie with Grandma and Grandpa. Grandma even taught them all some songs like "Home on the Range".


Thankfully Grandma and Grandpa let the kids each pick a hat to take home. (Good thing because the boys LOVED their hats!!!!) Don't we have the cutest cowboys and cowgirl?? :):)
