Ava's First Trip to the River

Last weekend we headed down to the river with Ava for the first time. My parents had been vacationing down there all week and we thought it would be a nice getaway to join them for the last half of their trip. It was also Lee and I's 4th anniversary, so we thought it would be a nice way to celebrate.

Ava loved it there and we had a really nice time visiting with her grandparents and Aunt Erin.

(I'm just realizing that I never shared an update on the river house since it was destroyed in Hurricane Irene last summer. After lots of deliberation, our family decided to rebuild, this time on pilings to protect from flooding. We are so thankful for the new house and have been enjoying it all summer.)

And now for pictures!
