Our Williamsburg Vacation


Jon, Lily and I took a little trip to Williamsburg this month for vacation. We visited Busch Gardens, Water Country USA, and Colonial Williamsburg, all of which was a lot of fun. At Busch Gardens, Lily really enjoyed riding the train around the park and seeing the Clydesdale horses. She even rode on some of the rides with Jon!

At the water park, we all splashed around in the kiddie pools, which was nice considering the temperature got up in the nineties while we were there.

Colonial Williamsburg wasn't that big of a hit for Lily, considering she is a little young to enjoy the history aspect of it, but she (once again) loved seeing the horses.

Lily Turns Two!

Lily celebrated her second birthday this past weekend with plenty of cake, balloons and presents! She was so excited for the big day and learned how to sing "Happy Birthday to Me." We had a small party at our house, with a cow theme. Grandma Laney even helped make Lily a special cow dress.

I attempted to make a cow cake, which (I think) tasted better than it looked!


All in all, it was a great day, and Lily loved having her family around to celebrate.

Albermarle County Fair


This past week the Fortney family went to the Albermarle County Fair, which has become a yearly tradition since we moved to Charlottesville.

This year Lily enjoyed seeing the animals and petting a baby chick. We even let her have a little bit of funnel cake!
