We have been very busy the last few weeks. Ever since my classes ended I have had such a blast being home full time again. It's kind of funny how absence really does make the heart grow fonder. I'm sure by the time fall rolls around again I'll be ready for a change. For now, I'm really enjoying these fun little kids.
Just this weekend we went camping with some friends. Noah and Allison had a blast. There were a lot of catapillars which they found fascinating. The campsite we went to was on Skyline Drive in Shenandoah and we stopped at a few lookouts to see the view of the mountains. Noah said, "Wow! It's like a whole new world!" It must be amazing to discover something like that for the first time. We even braved a hike to a waterfall. Allison struggled with all the walking but Noah was a real trooper. When we got home we were all filthy, tired, tick-free, and happy.
Earlier this month we had record high temperatures. We have been spending a lot of time at the pool but when that got old we got creative. The slip and slide was a big hit and we spent some time at the fountain attraction in Fairfax Corner. We also managed to go to a few playgrounds in the morning before it got too hot. Summer hasn't officially started yet but I can already tell it's going to be a good one. Here are some pics of our adventures!
