Box Family Reunion 2012

Our summer Box family reunion in Williamsburg VA was a lot of fun again this year.  Big Daddy Falls was a huge hit at Water Country (until we lost the keys in the water! :))

Spending time with all the cousins and extended family was also a big highlight.

Our wonderful hosts Uncle Ralph and Aunt Jane, getting the delicious desserts ready.

And our last trip back to Busch Gardens.  It was non stop fun from rides to swimming at the condos to mini golf and dinner get-togethers.  Always seems way too short of a trip.  We look forward to seeing everyone again soon.

Vermont

Back from another nice vacation in Vermont.  We had excellent weather the entire trip.

Claudia went tubing for the first time!  She had lots of fun and was a really big girl.

She also liked playing with Mimi, playing kickball and going to the Morgan Horse Farm.  We climbed up to Silver Lake and both girls were good climbers.

The Girl Scout dance was so much fun.  Claudia looked beautiful.  She danced a lot with Daddy and her friend Taylor.  The dance had a chocolate bar.

We went out for ice cream and had a great night.

Claudia had a wonderful time at her Daisy Scout rock climbing event!  She was able to earn her Brave and Courageous Petal! All the girls started out slow but by the end of the hour, they were all ringing the bells at the top of the climbs!  They were amazing.  Claudia said her favorite part was coming down.  Definitely in the plans to do again some time soon!
