Trip to Maryland: Days 6-10

This is continued from yesterday's post. Here are days 6-10 from our delightful trip to Maryland:

MONDAY, MAY 30th

Maya and Crystal - The girls and I stopped by my college friend,
Brandi's, on Monday morning for breakfast with her family.

She has a little girl, Crystal, and a little boy, Brandon, and Kate
and Maya loved hanging with them!

TUESDAY, MAY 31st

Mom, Scott, Kate, Maya and I headed
to the Enchanted Forest for a little play.

Maya and Gramma.

Maya, Gramma, and me.

These rolling hills enthralled me.  After being in flat Ohio for
so long, I had forgotten how beautiful Maryland is.

My darling girl on the hay ride.

My darling girl inside a whale's mouth.

My darling girl with Pop Pop.

We found some adorable goats to pet!

I mean, they were so tiny but so cute!

Kate made a friend, Evie, who fed the goats with her.

Kate and Evie...

Getting up close and personal with this guy!

Gramma gets to hold a baby goat!

Maya wants to hold baby goat too!  That girl has no fear.

Kate rode a pony for the very first time!

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1st

I got to enjoy a manicure with Amy on a special night out.
Oddly enough, we have no photos of the two of us, but I do have
a photo of my polish because I loved the color - Panda-monium Pink
by OPI.



THURSDAY, JUNE 2nd

Aunt Amy and her girlfriends were off to the beach.

I know Kate was bummed that Aunt Amy was
leaving but hopefully we'll see her again soon!
Perhaps in Ohio where we'll have her all to ourselves!

My brother, James.  SO handsome.

Officially graduating.

Officially done.

The brothers again.

And again.  I just can't get enough of these handsome faces.

Of course Kate wants in on the action.

So we throw Maya in for good measure too.

The parents with the graduate.

Spinning with Uncle T!

James' Graduation from Atholton HS at Merriweather Post Pavilion.

Uncle T makes riding in a stroller like a roller coaster!
But Kate has mentioned she did NOT want to take the dark, unlit
path through the woods that Uncle T suggested...

FRIDAY, JUNE 3rd

Kate, Maya, and I stopped by my Uncle Richard's and Aunt Layla's
for dinner.  We got to hang with my cousin, Mackenzie, who we
haven't seen in years.  Literally. 

Kate LOVED the dog crate. It's the little things, people.

Stay tuned!  Our last leg of our Maryland trip is tomorrow - days 11-13!
