We also went to Harper's Ferry, West Virginia one day. It was my first trip to West Virginia. It was GORGEOUS there!!! If you are ever in the area I highly recommend a stop there. Here are some pics from there.
On the last weekend we went down to Solomon's Island for some crabbing and sight seeing. The crabbing was a blast. We got almost 2 five gallon buckets full of crabs and boiled them up!
We also got to see the museum and go on a harbor tour for free. It was so much fun. Just too hot. We were in the 90's with humidity, in October!! Yuck!! But the sights were so worth it.
One afternoon while we were crabbing Skyler caught his first fish. He was so excited and so proud of himself. We put it in a bucket with water and he proceeded to sit down next to it and talk to it. Everyone that walked by he told them he caught a fish, they would smile and say how fun, then he would instruct them to come over to look at it. He was so proud. He told everyone it was his friend!! When the fish stopped swimming and was well belly up, he got upset. We had to tell him it was sleeping. He asked if he could take it to bed with him that night and when we got back to the trailer, he took that bucket and carried it off to his bed. Of course we had to explain to him this would not work. We told him we would put it outside. So that night we of course had to get rid of it and they next day he asked for his fish. He was so upset when he saw it was gone. Just broke my heart. Here is a pic of him with his first fish and a pic of the sunset that night.
While Ben and Kathy were visiting us. The celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary. The day before their anniversary we went to the Washington DC Temple and did sealings with them. It was such an incredible day and a wonderful spiritual experience. I am so glad we were able to share that with them. Here is a pic of them together at the Point Lookout Lighthouse. Also some other pics from Point Lookout.
Oh ya, forgot to mention. Ben and Kathy bought me this teddy bear that I had fallen in love with. It is HUGE! The mama bear is holding 2 baby cubs, it reminds me of my 2 little ones. Skyler thought it was his and had to take a nap with it the first day. Here is a pic of that.
Well I will have to post my scrapping update later or tomorrow cause this post is way longer than I thought it would be. Hope you all stayed awake through it. Have a great day!!
