Gluten Free Smores


Step 1: Smile really pretty and say "MO MASH MAWWOWS PEAS"


Step 2: Give marshmallows to Daddy to place on roasting stick aka skewer.


Step 3: Watch anxiously as the marshmallows are cooked to order.


Step 4: Inspect for proper level of doneness.


Step 5: Add cocoa pebbles, sit back and enjoy. (Spoons are optional)

P.S. To be more specific these are gluten (wheat, barley, rye, oats,) milk, egg, soy, nut free smores. But who's counting? :)

Vacation at the James River



This is the trail down to the James River. We were right across from James Town. BH is the orange speck you see down the trail 100 feet. You'll just have to imagine me as I am on the other side of the camera.




Shells!


Shells (I told him to show me his shell so he struck a pose!:)


Shells! EH loves every shell she found so I took pictures of the prettiest ones.


Shells!



and yes, MORE SHELLS. This river is brackish water which means part salt and part fresh. It is actually not very deep until you get quite far out. We all swam in it and had a ton of fun. Sorry no pictures of swimming something about cameras, water and really white skin just doesn't mix together well.

Summer is over School starts

We finished the summer off with a bang. We went camping at Chippokes Plantation State Park an hour away from here. It is the oldest continuously operating farm in the country! It is on the James River just miles (and a fairy ride) away from Jamestown. We got to drive our car onto a fairy. I was going to post pictures but we are having memory card issues.

Evelyn started kindergarten in public school. BH started 2nd grade homeschool. We are adjusting well. I will post pictures as soon as we get the kinks worked out.
