Lazy (and not so lazy) Weekends

We live in a great city where there is more to do on any given weekend than we could ever take advantage of, even if we wanted to.  We like to occassionally delve into the culture that city life brings, though sometimes it can be tough to pull us away from the slow (albeit rarely lazy) weekend days around the house.  We are apart from each other and gone to work and school all week, that we savor these weekends at home, just the four of us.

Recently, we walked around the block and got into some poke berry juice…Alder was acting like it was blood.  He is preparing to be a zombie for halloween.

A few weekends ago, I took the boys to Hollywood cemetery for a walk.  This is a very historic and beautiful cemetery overlooking the James River.  The boys loved walking around and then started using my phone to take pictures of "snow leopard" on various tombstones.  Weird, yes, but I liked their creativity…..it was in no way dispresepctful.

And this past weekend, we ventured out to the Richmond Folk Festival.  A free, weekend-long festival celebrating music and culture from around the world.  We only went one afternoon, but it was awesome.  Here is view as we walked into the venue - one stage with the James River behind.

 Teaching the boys what a "selfie" is while jamming to some amazing french music.

 Alder is finally getting one of his upper teeth after months of nothing but gum!  Going to change his appearance greatly.  Sigh.

Excited about our annual beach trip coming up soon!
