The Hills go to Fredericksburg

We decided to have a family tour of Fredericksburg to begin our summer vacation in July. What better way to start off a trip than by having doughnuts? We decided that the best way to show our kids how important a college degree is, was by taking them to Krispy Kreme, putting a hat on them and letting them know that if they didn't get good grades and go to college-that is where they could end up-working the glazing machine in the bakery. Unfortunately, they responded with,"That looks like a fun job Mom!" Jackson said,"Can I do it right now?" Kids-what are you gonna do?

Next we decided to take a tour of the Colonial city on a trolley! The kids loved it! We had a great time seeing all the cannon balls still stuck in the walls of so many original colonial buildings, and the cannon balls that were removed from old walls, and put into the walls of the new structure built-to keep some of the history of the Civil War alive. It is a great city and we really enjoyed learning about the birthplace and much loved city of our country's First President-George Washington! We live in the most awesome country ever!

We ended our tour with a great lunch at Cheeseburger in Paradise-where we fit right in with all of the other Parrot Heads.

You guys are so cute. I have never been to Fredricksburg, but it looks like tons of fun.

Isn't love great? Sometimes, at the end of the day, we just sit together and think,"We can't believe we have three kids!" Thank goodness for date nights!

Hills in the News

Well, so far the Hill Family has been keeping up with all of our friends and family through occasional phone calls-but no more! We hope that we can share updates about what is going on in our family regularly, with everyone who knows us through this blog! We hope all of you are doing well and we can't wait to hear from you too.
Since Mama Hill has a bad habit of carrying on long thoughts and conversations, you all may be very thankful for the e-version of communication, so feel free to keep us posted about what's happening in your end of the world (without me talking over you)!
Here's how the Hills roll:
Nana just finished Kindergarten, is reading up a storm and completed her first season ever of soccer!
Mr.Man has discovered how cool Jedi Knights and their blue and red light sabers are!
Little Bubbers has discovered how to defend himself, from his older brothers new interest in hitting him with the cool Jedi Knight light sabers!
Jeff is just working up a storm, occasionally fits in some golf and is constantly trying to figure out a way he can be a millionaire overnight, I am busy working with Moby Wrap, Inc. and recently had an article published at the following address: http://www.modernbabiesandchildren.com/maryland/info/our-stories/all-wrapped-up.htm
Aside from being able to add a little to the family income, I spend most of my days finding ways we can kick the soccer ball, play Star Wars, read books, eat, protect Little Bubbers and become millionaires-all at the same time!
We have had a wonderful couple of years here in our Nations Capitol and just to give you an idea of how much fun we've had in the House of Hill-here are are a couple of pictures we've taken over the last few months.
Until the next update- we hope you have a great time with your own family this summer and we can't wait to see your pictures and read your news too!
All the best-Carrie
