We hit the road in early June for the always fun and memory-making trip to Virginia for the Bourne Family Reunion. The bigs were consumed with finding every state's license plate while Garner read aloud...a lot :)
Natural Bridge Station. So beautiful and special to this sweet fam
Much visiting and playing Friday evening behind the cottages...
Saturday, we started as usual with the Breakfast with the Old & Rare
Gehrig and Greer are officially at the big kid tables now...
And then headed on to the gift shop for playing and posing ;)
We haven't actually been to see the bridge itself since Gehrig was a baby, so we decided to head down to see it this year. The kids were super excited :))
It is absolutely impossible to capture how breathtaking it is in person...truly a natural wonder! Gehrig loved all of the historical facts...that George Washington carved his initials in it and Thomas Jefferson purchased it at one point. So neat :)
The weather was perfect for a great hike beyond the bridge and in the creek bed on the way to the falls :)
Cool Indian village :)
Afterwards, we headed out to Cave Mountain Lake for more reunion-izing :))
Uncle Bill is amazing and always stopping to spend time with the littles
Lake fun and ultimate frisbee with the cousins :)
Story-telling time
And this year's crew. So many missing this time :(
It can't be a reunion without the Virginia Reel...Greer is in heaven
Sweet Garner and Charlie time while everyone dances
Love :)
Aunt Gretchen bought some happys at the gift shop for the kids and had them left for us in the cottage... they were so excited :))
And more games and visiting commenced for Saturday evening
Sleeping with their goodies
And the precious Sunday morning time at Granny's
I played with some video-making on the drive home...
So thankful for all of the effort made to put such emphasis on family time despite the miles that are typically between us all. The Gs never want to leave...just like their daddy when he was little :)))
