Great Falls National Park

 This morning we drove up to McLean to visit Great Falls National Park to meet up with some friends - unfortunately they went to the Maryland side so we didn't get to see them BUT we still had a really great time!  We have been here before with my parents but the kids were little and we didn't do any of the hiking trails.  The trails were great - there are some really easy and short trails that wind through the forest and lead to some ruins in the woods.  We saw some frogs and even came upon a family of deer!  The visitor's center was fun too and there were lots of things to see and do - it really kept the kids engaged and interested in what we were seeing and doing!  The kids are all at such a fun age right now.  We can go and do so many fun things!  I'm really happy that we've done so many interesting and different things this summer - it's been so great and I'm going to miss them all so much when school starts!

 

Great Falls

My parents have been here visiting for the past week and we went to Great Falls last weekend. It was really cold and a little windy but we had a good time and the kids enjoyed being outside running around.
