Rural Virginia

For $15 we got a round of mini golf, the batting cages, the go carts, and a bucket at the driving range. Not too shabby!









I love this picture of Charlie because you can just tell how overjoyed he is. He's looking at his Uncle Josh who's making goofy faces at him. Charlie LOVES Josh and was laughing so hard pretty much every time Josh was around. So cute.
























Thank goodness Josh was so cute with Charlie because this is what we had to suffer through the rest of the time. Yuck!









Here are Josh and Cindy - my bro and his cute wife!













Mom and me.












Look at that air!

A beautiful place for a day trip.

Are you kidding me?!

So we spent the last week with my family in rural Virginia near the West Virginia Border. We had a splendid time enjoying the local activities and playing games. As soon as I get to sorting my pictures I'll post a few. Until then here's a story for you.

Friday morning we went out to our rental van to drive to the day's activity. After we'd driven a couple miles the dash indicated that we need to check the gas cap. We pulled over and Adam checked it - it was loose. Strange since he knew he'd screwed it on tight at our last fill up, but whatever. We joked about how the gas looked lower (about 1/8 of a tank) and what if someone was siphoning our gas. Ha ha - what a crazy idea. We enjoyed our day and went to bed.
Sunday morning we woke up very early to leave for the airport (think 4am) and got packed up to go. When we started the van the "check gas cap" light came on again. This time when Adam checked it the cap wasn't even on! He got back in the car and lo and behold we were missing 1/8 tank of gas. Again. Can you believe it? We were totally shocked. Someone at that timeshare was seriously siphoning our gas. I mean I've heard of these things happening but I can't believe it's real and that it happened to us. Stupid hillbillies. It was probably a bunch of local kids but I choose to believe it was hillbillies because that makes the story funnier, don't you think?
