Trip to Virginia - "Beware of Squirrels"

Last weekend we got to go down to Virginia to see my brother Milt and his family for a few days. John got off of work Thursday and Friday. Since it is a 10+ hour trip, we decided to go down Wednesday after work and stay the night at John's family's house (isn't that convenient that it is about halfway?!) So we got there on Thursday. It was great seeing them all again. Toma LOVED playing with her cousins, Elli and Shawn. Unfortunately for Milt, she couldn't get his name right. . . she kept calling him Tim (our other brother). I don't think they look THAT much alike, but you know kids. We'll have to work on that one. We went to a lake and fed some ducks and squirrels. Toma had a ton of fun, except for when she went to feed a squirrel and didn't throw the bread fast enough, and the squirrel went to bite it . . . and bit her finger instead. Thus the heading to the post. It held onto it for a awhile (at least it seemed like it to me) before I went to do something and it finally let go. In reality it was probably only a few seconds, but it didn't seem like it. Cami got a picture Toma of the culprit before it happened. It drew blood, but no real damage done. But Toma will still show me her finger and say, "squirrel."
We also went to the zoo. It was cool, you can feed a lot of animals there, and I got to feed and pet a giraffe! That was something new for me. Toma loves the zoo and all the animals. To quote her, "Anmals. Anmals. more anmals?" We also bought Disney Dance Dance Revolution while we were there and had a great time playing it on the Wii, as well as some other games. We had a great visit, but wish it could have been longer. Thanks Milt and Cami for a great time. Here's some of our favorite pics from the trip.
