SNOW in Charlottesville!!!

FINALLY some REAL SNOW in Charlottesville!!! The Boys were SO EXCITED!!!



The Boys had so much FUN "playing Snow Ball Fight!" They played Sunday evening with their best Little Neighbor Friend, Hudson! And then played more with Monday morning and afternoon until it was Melted!!!

Nonna and the Presidents

Nonna came back to Charlottesville with the Boys after our visit to West Virginia!! We had SO Much fun Visiting all the Presidents; Jefferson, Monroe, and Madison! William had a blast but James was kicked out of two out of three homes! (That has to be some kind of record) :)

The Boys, Nonna, and Mr. Jefferson.

The Boys and Nonna taking a rest on the back steps of Monticello. William was checking his map for our next stop...

Checking out Mr. Jefferson's resting place...

Lunch at the Historic Michie's Tavern... William had ordered an Ice Cream Sandwich for dessert and when the Waitress brought it... William yelled out, "And She Got MY Order WRONG!!!" He was expecting a "flat ice cream sandwich!" HeeHee!!!!

The Boys resting at Ash Lawn, Home of James Monroe...

William pouting in the Gardens...

Everyone sitting with James Madison and Dolly!

The Ballard Boys hope Nonna is making her List of things to See and Do for her Next Trip to Charlottesville! :)
