We also spent plenty of time hanging outside with the kiddos. They all loved exploring a couple of different playground.
Ben loves to swing!

Anna is all smiles with her Mom!
Bubbles are always a big hit with Kate!
Especially if they are provided by Pop!
And Uncle Jon is around to play, too!
Another key to summer vacation success = Water!
...and out!
Matthew is so happy!
Anna and Ben loved playing in the water and sand at the beach at the lake!
And Matthew loved being the captain of his little ship!
And Kate's favorite thing was the paddleboats!
One of our favorite family activities is hiking and we were able to get in several good hikes while we were in Wintergreen! 
Matthew was content to participate but he's out-grown the Baby Bjorn we've used for past hikes and we haven't gotten a proper pack yet. Big mistake!
The twins, on the other hand, are still Baby Bjorn-compatible!
Kate loved being the trail leader and tried hard to be the first to spot each blaze!
Nana, Great Pop and Great Uncle Chris were also able to come out to Wintergreen for an afternoon! Such a special time for Nana and Great Pop and ALL of their great-grandchildren to be together! Doesn't happen nearly often enough!

We love you, Abby!
