Father's Day hike!

For Father's Day, Chris wanted to go on a hike together!  I've been chatting with my friend at work about Fridley's Gap....it's beautiful and her boys love it- She said they always see  a snake and hop over rocks, get wet...lot's of fun 'boy' things.  So, we decided to take Lucky and a few good walking sticks and try it out!  What a beautiful day!  We packed a lunch and set off.  The trail is about 15 minutes from our house...perfect!  We walked about 2 miles.  I'm really glad I had that walking stick, ha ha!  We went up hill most of the first 1/2 mile stepping on rocks to avoid getting your feet wet from the stream!  We saw a cool black snake!  The kids loved that!  Ethan swam in a water hole!  The water was ice cold- crazy boy!  We had a blast! Here are a few pics of our hike!  Happy Father's Day to the bestest husband and father a kid could have!  I love you Chris!  We all love you!!!!

 I was 31 weeks 4 days at this picture!  I'm very glad we could spend the day together!

 So beautiful- our area is just gorgeous....there's nothing more to say!

 Brrrrr.....  Alexis wanted to get in but she didn't wear her swim suit and so just feet/legs for her! 

Day 1...Massanutten Water Park.....

The kids were mostly awake by 6:30.....this was a bit early but they were so excited to hang out and play together!  We had breakfast in AM....played games, read some Harry Potter.....took naps by early afternoon to get ready for the waterpark......

 Even the dog was tired! HA!

 HE was one excited boy....asking me all day, 'how much longer Aunt Chandra? 'Sweet,sweet Boy!!!!

 Here we are!!!! Me at 31 weeks pregnant with baby boy #4....and Funk kids....this is about 4:30pm!  The kids were beyond excited about the water park!  Chris and I were too, really! So much to do.....slides, huge wave pool, indoor and outdoor parks..... Here we go!  The older kids paired up....And Chris and I each took a little one.....they were completely thrilled!!!! Here are just a few pics....I didn't take too many pics....too busy playing! YAY!

All of us ready to leave.....a little bit after 10 PM!!!!! Little Dave was asleep before we ever left the parking lot! The kids had a blast.....and Chris and I did too! Thank you free library day..... you saved us almost $300.00!!!!! YAY!

Hunter in MD....

My mom and dad took Hunter for 2 weeks....yes, I know, I can't believe he or I or Chris made it that long....lots of talking to him during the day and night! He only missed us the last few days (he said).  He went to the beach, the boardwalk, fishing, swimming, the carnival.....endless hotdogs, mac n' cheese and ice cream I'm sure!  He had a blast!  He got to spend some great time with his cousin Little Dave (10 months older) and Hunter loved that part!!! Thank you mom and dad for taking him!!!  Great memories being made I know!  Here are a few pics....

 For Hunter's 4th birthday, Aunt Christina got Hunter a red cowboy hat and a toy gun with a belt....My mom told me he played/wore those almost the entire 2 weeks!!!! Gotcha Mam-ah.....

 Hunter realizing it was raining and he couldn't go swimming.....poor boy!!!!
