Last Friday, we met a friend at the Falls Church Community Center for their Open Gym for Tots. I love going to the FCCC because it’s a big open space for the kids to run and play in. The hold their open gyms every Friday during the school year (holidays and snow days, excepted)...
What do you do after spending a day inside, consuming sweets and savories and opening gifts at a frenzied pace? You take those kids somewhere to “get the crazies out”! We decided to hit Sport Bounce, out in Loudon for a little post-Christmas outing. The kids and Mike (and even I) had fun climbing,...
Like many others, we visited the US Botanic Gardens this holdiay season to check out their “Windows to Wonderland” exhibit – featuring beaucoup trains and other cool stuff. It is open daily from 10am — 5pm and the exhibit runs through January 4th. However, on Tuesdays, the Gardens are open until 8pm, so this...
On a beautiful Columbus Day, we headed out to our CSA, Great Country Farms to pick a pumpkin and to enjoy their farm one last time for the season. It was a gorgeous day, and we had a great time. Here are some of the highlights. Tractor ride out to the pumpkin patch: The...
Going to Cox Farms is one of the kids favorite things to do in the fall. At random times throughout the year they will beg me to go to Cox Farms and I have to explain it’s not open. But finally, fall is here and we got the chance to go this afternoon. I...
I was looking through my August pictures and realized I forgot to mention our zoo outing. We got out the door early one day and made it to the zoo by 9:30am. Seeing such an abundance of open parking made me a little giddy and I foolishly parked in the B lot, because it...
We just got back from a day at Kings Dominion. Grandad graciously invited us to tag along for a company sponsored outing at his work, so we brought our whole brood. The park opened at 10:30 .. we were in the gates by 11am. Park closed at 8pm, we were pulling out of the...
This past weekend we had our annual Fun Fest trip. For the past 10-15 years (it’s been so long, I’ve forgotten how many now), we’ve gotten together with friends to camp and boat down at Buggs Island Lake (officially known as John Kerr Resevoir). We tent camp at North Bend Park, and boat and...
We had a nice time visiting Grandad for lunch last week. Grandad works at a boat dealership so it’s a pretty exciting place for little kids to check out. Grandad got to show off the grandkids to his co-workers, as we enjoyed lunch from my favorite sandwich joint in his conference room: Adam was...
Renee already mentioned this, but we had fun at Waterworks last week with her and her two, and another mom and her two. It’s hard to get pictures when you’re chasing 3 kids around, but everyone had a great time swimming and playing. Here’s a few shots of the fun: Renee & Lydia Wes...
