Photos Galore of Our Maryland Trip

These are just the pics on my camera alone--still waiting on some from my mom...  We had a great time on our trip and it was definitely memorable!

Bella loved this big bear that Grace found for her to play on.  She climbed all over him and cuddled him lots!





Grace, 5 years old, was very proud of how well she could ride her bike.  We were pretty impressed too!  



We were also very impressed by Rachel's (10 years old) clarinet playing skills.  And reminded me of my days playing this fancy instrument.


Rachel and Grace were a BIG help with Bella.  I was sad to say goodbye in the end, because they were always there to help give her a bath, distract and play with her, or even clean up her spit up!  Grace's job in particular was spit up patrol--she picked it, not me!


Grace showed Bella what a great reader she is already, even though she doesn't start Kindergarten until August!



Rachel and Grace both LOVED holding her--though Bella was a wiggly one and hard to catch most of the time.






The whole family poses for a picture on the last day--Amy's in there too, peaking over Dave's shoulder.  Bella couldn't get over the fact that Dave Phillip had a slight resemblance to her grandpa back home.



And finally, a highlight from our plane ride, though there will be an entirely seperate entry to come, chronicling this BIG FIRST!
