First Annual Duvall Family Float Trip

This weekend we went on our first Duvall Family Float Trip. We all went including Papa Memaw, Uncle Dave, Aunt Ashley and Jacob. Papi and Mimi kept Tayler and Hadley but we are hoping they will join us soon. We are definitely making it a tradition.

Playing in the river right by our cabin only minutes after arriving.

Jayden had a lot of fun and was very brave. While we were floating he even decided he watned to swim along the canoe.

Happy Birthday America!

We started the holiday at Great-Uncle Danny and Aunt Gina's house with swimming and celebrating Great-Grandpa Hamilton's birthday.

Hadley and her new third cousin, Trevor.


Awww...baby!

Jayden was all about holding this baby. I guess its been long enough since he was holding the twins all the time that it was a new experience again.


Next we went to the fireworks celebration at the park. Jayden's preschool even got to go on stage and say the Pledge of Allegiance before the show.

He was so happy to see his friends, and especially his buddy R.J.


R.J. ran across the parking lot and gave Jayden a big hug. I think they have missed each other over the summer.



He got to sit in a fire truck thanks to some very nice firemen.


Time for fireworks! Papi, Pawpaw, and Memaw joined us to watch the show.

Tayler & Hadley's First Visit with Great Grandpa Green

This weekend we all went to visit Grandpa Green. We stopped in Rolla, MO overnight and the babies were able to swim in a big pool for the first time.


Just like everything, the twins had opposite reactions to the pool. Hadley is our fish and loves everything about it. Tayler looks at you like you have lost your mind.

















The babies did a good job on their first road trip.


Great-Grandpa Green meets Hadley for the first time.


But he remembers this big guy!



Oh, it is so nice that he finally got to meet our newest angels.







The boys helped Grandpa Green with the cooler.





Goodbye kisses.

And hugs...we already miss him!
