Andy's Trip to Virginia

While in Virginia, Andy and his brother Brian's family went to a nearby park adjacent to the James River. They went hiking on a trail that lead down to the river. Then there was a pontoon bridge that you could take onto the river. But then they got to a spot where the bridge was partially submerged, making passage almost impossible.

So Andy tried to convince Zoey that all she needed to do is run real fast, jump over the water, land on the railing, tight-rope across the railing, then be on the other side. Just easy as that!

Here they are back on the trail. They spotted two little monkeys while hiking.

The trail was through these cool windy trees.

"Can we take a break? I'm tired!"

Daddy Brian found a natural hammock-- a tree branch. Rock-a-bye baby, on the tree hammock...

See Zoey. See Zoey run. Run, Zoey, run.

Zoey tried to jump over a little stream (mostly mud.) Although she did land across the stream, she promptly fell backwards into the mud. (Yes, Andy was the bad example here. How did you guess?)

Move over Butters, there is now something much more cuter. (But that's not saying much with Butter's...)
