Gemignani Week

We spent a week with the Gems side of the family a couple weeks ago. Some of the family spent a couple days in DC, then we headed out to Massadoah for some tubing, games, fireworks, a slide show to celebrate Mary’s amazing career as an educator, and hours and hours of cousin playtime.

We toured Shenandoah Caverns and some crazy Americana at America On Parade, as well as the Route 11 potato chip factory.

Two of my favorite moments from the week, out of many wonderful moments:

1) Getting to take care of Olivia while Liz and Tony went for a float. Zoe had designated herself Aunt Liz’s personal tube driver, so they had lots of time to visit, and I loved having time to really get to know Olivia. The time went too quickly, and I have a much better feel for the amazing, funny, sweet spriteling she is.

2) When I asked Miles to pass me something, and he said in his sweet little boy voice, “Here you go, Chrisjennie.” I LOVED that.

Some assorted pics from the week.
