Aside from Busch Gardens, we took a trip into Urbanna, visited the Gloucester Walmart on the one rainy evening, got some fresh seafood to grill up from J&W’s, and the rest of our time was spent hanging out at the river - fishing most days, spotting the bald eages, paddle boarding, catching minnows, and the girls created an Easter raft to set sail in the river.
Do you see the four turtles sunning themselves on the log? :)
Cayenne loves time down at Hartfield. She is off leash a ton and gets plenty of swimming time, couch time (which she doesn’t get at home), and hanging with the family.
Pops came down on Saturday afternoon, so we got to spend Easter Sunday with him. Nina, Lyla, and even Cayenne, all got a chance for a river-style Easter egg hunt. Cayenne actually loves Easter egg hunts, so we had to keep her inside while the girls searched for their eggs. Her nose is the very best detector of candy hidden in plastic eggs, and she knows exactly what to do when she finds an egg in order to get the treat out.
So, after the girls found all their eggs, we took several eggs and hid some bread in them (Cayenne LOVES bread), hid the eggs in tough places, then released her from the house. She took off running around the yard until her nose led her to an egg, she popped it open, ate the bread, and kept running to find other eggs. It’s no wonder we have a hard time getting Cayenne to believe she’s actually a dog and not a human! :)
We headed back home on Sunday afternoon, and the girls got back to the routine the next day. However, it was just the “break” we all needed to spend Spring Break living life low-key and enjoying some relaxed outdoor time together.
