Adventures: A Visit to Lexington
http://3hambrickboys.blogspot.com/2014/07/a-visit-to-lexington.html
Monday, July 21, 2014. A Visit to Lexington. On Wednesday we went into Lexington for a little touristy visit. We parked and had lunch and then walked around town. We hit the jackpot when we stopped in at the Visitor's Center because we picked up some maps and got good directions on where to go and what to see. A big part of our trip was to see the universities. The boys take a look through the spy glass that was said to be given to a family by Jackson at some point during the war. (The story is still...

Adventures: Geocaching
http://3hambrickboys.blogspot.com/2014/07/geocaching.html
Tuesday, July 22, 2014. The park has activities every day for the kids. Some you have to pay extra for, and others are free. One day the boys tie dyed shirts. Another they went geocaching. So geocaching isn't anything new. All 3 have done it, or seen it done, at Cub Scout camp. But this time they each got their own gps and got to play around with it to see how it all worked. Brad is searching for one of his caches. Travis got a little help from Jake at first, but seemed to catch on pretty quickly.

Adventures: Hiking & Fishing
http://3hambrickboys.blogspot.com/2014/07/hiking-fishing.html
Monday, July 21, 2014. We went on a couple of hikes - one short one and another a bit longer. The tree that the boys were sitting on was in the path of the horse trail. We're still not sure how the horses got around it since I doubt many of them jumped over it. This is the view from the highest point we reached on our longer hike. I like how the tree branches created a picture frame! The lake at Douthat is stocked regularly, but that doesn't make it any easier to catch anything. So they established a...

Adventures: Back to Lexington
http://3hambrickboys.blogspot.com/2014/07/back-to-lexington.html
Tuesday, July 22, 2014. We then headed back to VMI to the museum again. There was so much more displayed that we weren't able to see. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I'm Shanan and here is my family. This blog is more of a journal for a mom trying to keep her sanity among the craziness of life. You will note that most things are about our boys, but once in a while you get a glimpse into Jake's and my lives too. Alyssa Pearson Mission (IL). Amanda and Brett Clingerman (VA).

Adventures: Run Like a Diva
http://3hambrickboys.blogspot.com/2014/09/run-like-diva.html
Friday, September 19, 2014. Run Like a Diva. Last spring I saw posts on Facebook from friends that had run all kinds of races. It was an inspiration to me to get off my duff and do something. I took the plunge and registered for the Diva Half Marathon. 13.1 miles was a bit daunting, but I had a few months to train. So after a little research I came up with a regime to follow to get myself ready. The race kicked off at 7:30am. I was in the 3rd wave, so my time actually began about 10 minutes later. So lat...

Adventures: Judges Classic
http://3hambrickboys.blogspot.com/2014/09/judges-classic.html
Friday, September 19, 2014. The same day that I had my half marathon, Brad had his first big cross country meet of the season. He had run in a regular season meet on Thursday before, but this was a huge meet that included all of the area middle schools. The meet was held on the Kernstown Battlefield - which was nice and hilly. It was the perfect day to run because it wasn't humid and it was cool. The rain came and went, stopping in time for the race. Brad came in 7th out of 81 runners. By the time hi...

Adventures: Travis' baptism
http://3hambrickboys.blogspot.com/2014/07/travis-baptism.html
Tuesday, July 22, 2014. Travis' baptism was a little different than Brad and Wyatt's. Since Youth Conference was going on in the Stake Center, we asked for permission to have him baptized in the river. We got the OK and arranged with Brother Stickley to use his property. The weather couldn't have been any better - not too hot, not too cold, and not raining! This is my favorite picture, probably because they're holding hands and moving with great purpose. Although there were few in attendance (because tha...
