Ethan's FIRST Trip to NOVA!

We FINALLY decided it was time to make a trip up to NOVA!! It was our first time going in 2012 and also our first time going with THREE KIDDOS IN TOW! I will admit, it took a little while for me to get the courage up to make the trip:) But, I am so glad that we did! We had so much fun! We got to see a lot of family and some great family friends too!! And, of course, like most things in life we were met with challenge as well......our van got a flat tire on Fairfax County Parkway:( But the silver lining there was that it happened while all 3 kiddos were napping and they napped through the whole hour and a half long experience! They woke up just as we were about to pull back out on the Parkway:)
We were so happy to get to meet our newest niece and the kids newest cousin, Aveline, and to introduce Ethan to so many people too!! It was a super fun, super tiring, super happy, super LONG day!! Because we started out at 8:20am Saturday morning from our house and we pulled back up in front of our house at 10:30pm that night!! We were TIRED, but it was So Worth it:)
