Last week we met up with my parents and all but one of my siblings for a fun week in Williamsburg Virginia. We got to meet my sister's newest baby and my dad met Esther for the first time. The week consisted of visits to the colonial village, hiking along the James River, a visit to Jamestown (and Yorktown for some), swimming in the pool, playing games, singing, eating, and of course lots of FED* time after the kids were asleep (*family evening discussions).
My mom, thanks to long cold Russian winters, had sewn Colonial costumes for all 12 of her grandchildren that were present (and 5 dolls). The kids were so adorable that many of the other tourists asked for pictures. Love it!
