A visit from the Kansas Alexanders

Uncle Mike, Aunt Misty, Terra, Madeline and Jack drove down to Virginia Beach for a few days while they were on vacation in Northern Va to visit the rest of our family.

All the kids went down this water slide.  Lilly was the only one who didn't have any desire to do it again.  You should have seen her face all the way down the slide.  She looked terrified.  To be honest I was surprised she did it at all.

Here's Sophia speeding down the first time.  I think Uncle Mike paid for them all to go down a second or even third time. 

We spent two days at the beach and one evening walking around aimlessly in search of a restaurant that could seat 9 immediately.  We all agreed that the restaurant we finally ended up at was awful.  Will and I are familiar with the restaurants between 5th and 17th street, but any farther North than that and we're out of luck.

It was fun to have them over to our house for dinner a few nights too.  The cousins all get along so well considering that they very rarely see each other.  Sophia and Jack were extremely buddy-buddy. One might even say there was a mutual crush going on there. 

Here's what the girls looked like after a long day at the beach.  They both fell asleep in the 15 minute ride back to our house.
