Natural Bridge, VA-2

My parents and sister came to join us in VA. We had sooo much fun!! Love spending time with family!

Natural Bridge, VA-1

Our campground was AWESOME! It was called Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park. It had a waterpark, pool, beach, lake, mini golf, kids activities, and a jumping pad.

We ate ice cream sunday's with BOO BOO the first night we were there!

Didn't know the sunday's would be so enormous or we would've shared. But each of us got our own!!

Rick shot a bear while we were there! He is sooo tuff!!

Kids water slide at the park!!

Look at those abs!!

Each day they had a craft for the kids. Here they made caterpillars, lady bugs, and snails from egg cartons.

One day they got to draw with sidewalk chalk with Cindy bear!

Here is the mini golf course. The kids had alot of fun playing!

One day we went hiking again up to Devils Marble Yard.

It was a mile hike up and a mile back. We got to cross over 3 streams. The kids loved that.

It was very rocky so Rick had to carry Matthias part of the way.

This is Devils Marble Yard. It was amazing. We climbed to the ridge you see in the picture and there was a another mountain of rocks beyond that. It was kinda dangerous for the kids so we weren't able to go all the way to the top.

The view was unbelievable you could see the surrounding mountains and the valley below. Which I forgot to take a picture of :(

We had so much fun spending time together as a family. I love being with my family. God has truly blessed me with a wonderful husband and children. I am so thankful we were able to go on the great vacation!!!

 

Lynchburg, VA

When we were in Lynchburg we did alot of hiking. The kids had never been. This mountain is called the Peaks of Otter. We hiked 1 1/2 miles up and then back down. The kids did AWESOMWE and loved every minute of it.

The top of the mountain is called Sharp top. So basically that means straight up. We were getting close so pressed on!

Very rewarding and chilly when we reached the top!! We also ate lunch up there.

 Lynchburg also has an amtrak train that goes through. So we stopped to see it. One day we will take a trip on a train. Julean LOVES trains!!

I am sooo thankful for my family and how we are healthy enough to enjoy this unbelievable view of God's creation. I am also very proud of my kids for making it to the top!!
