  • Skylar Birthday – Lexington

    We were on our 3rd trip of the summer for Skylar’s birthday. Our stay at the Yogi Bear campground was awesome minus the scrapes from the first day where Tweedle Dee (aka Skylar) decided to jump off a moving golf cart and subsequently crashed face down – minor scrapes only. Tweedle-Dum then decided he was smarter and could pull it off and he subsequently did the exact same thing but got some nasty road rash on his buttocks.

    Yes, I wrote “buttocks”.

    Nana and Poppa D hosted Skylar’s birthday and we played a round of corn hole. It was a beautiful and fun evening had by all.

    We prepared Skylar (and Daddy’s) favorite cake which is angel food with chocolate whipped cream topping – NeNe’s recipe (my grandmother and Nana’s mom).

    We also spent a night at the Col Alto Hampton Inn. The kids enjoyed the fancy amenities and played a round of chess while drinking their hot coco a la sassy.

  • Skylar Birthday – tubing

    We went tubing down the Shenandoah River for Skylar’s birthday. Neither of the kids had wanted a “drive-by” birthday party where you sit in the front yard while your friends drive by in a car and shout “Happy Birthday”. I agree that seemed rather lame.

    After tubing we went to a Brewery at the top of a mountain with exquisite views of Loudoun. Then we headed home and had birthday cake and presents. Skylar’s favorite cake is Angel food cake with chocolate whipped cream, my grandmothers recipe and also my fav!
