Days of Summer Bliss with The Woods Family in Virginia

Bobby, Shirlene, and family came to Virginia for 10 blissful days of reconnecting, visiting, sharing in the joys of parenting, praying, worshipping, sharing wonderful meals, and reinvigorating one another's passion for life, faith, and community.

Fun along the shore of the James River
Come to Virginia for fresh crab

Swimming was enjoyable though the warm
80+ degree water brings multitudes of jelly fish which are being examined in the bucket

Father and Son

Fun in the sun

Ellie is such a dear young girl, who is responsible well beyond her years
Such a great friend to Thaddeus throughout the week
Thaddeus took notes and now is a better caretaker of his little brother...
Thank you Ellie for your good influence :o)

Playing together at the Virginia Living Museum


Reprieve from the heat with front yard slip 'n slide

Pool time



Exploring the local park


Grinding corn at the Jamestown Settlement

Thaddeus says they were playing "David and Goliath"

More interacting with history

Exploring the ships at Jamestown

Our dear neighbor loaned us his RV!!!
We got to enjoy camping with children in air conditioning, what a gift!

Johannes was in his element the entire time, endless dirt and food...


Bobby providing endless comic relief
"Hillbilly grin"

Time for a cool down and rinse of at least one layer of dirt
Johannes wasn't always happy with my methods, but it worked quite well

Beaching it at Yorktown waterfront
York River


The prehistoric looking Helmet crab came floating by us

Pure summer fun in Virginia
We love the Woods!
