Halladays in Virginia




July 3-10, 2011










Katelyn and Thomas steering the God Speed on the James River


The Halladays wearing their armor. Tim's is a bit snug.






The girls with Pocahontas






Gramma and Laura taking the hair off a deer hide.



On the Battleship Wisconsin.




Going under the ocean.



At the very old jail where the pirate Black Beard's men were held before they were hung.





Sun rise at Assateague Island.

The unsinkable Katelyn.



The big, mean, old, hissing, snapping turtle



The ninja crab.



My expert kite flyer.



It started to rain and get a bit chilly but we were not going to leave the beach. Then a big lightning and a loud thunder crackled over the beach from one end to the other. We decided it was a good time to go get lunch.



Tim rented half of a car. It was a lot of fun.



The sunsets on Assateague Island were as good as the sun rises.



The kids' favorite roller coaster ride



Patty had a bit of bad luck skiing down one of the slopes at Busch Gardens.





Tim won Laura a bunch of prizes at Busch Gardens



Karen got a picture of a firefly on mid glow.



Picnic at a lake with Blair and his family.




Reading bed time stories.


One of the bridges in the Governor's Palace gardens.



The Governor's gardens made great run through mazes.




Feeding the seagulls from the James River Ferry.



Looking for Fossils at Chippokes Park on the James River.



Katelyn found the only shark's tooth.




Laura found the largest petrified scallop.





Going out for an scary fogy evening ride through old Revolutionary War battlefields.
