I must say, I am certainly enjoying being in, what feels like, one never ending forest here in Virginia. One thing about this place though, it must take a long time to really feel like you know an area. There are just so many trees all around, and very few open spaces, if any. Shenandoah felt much like the rest of the state but just higher on a mountain, and with views of the rolling hills and forest surrounding us. It's beautiful here, so we took lots of pictures, as usual. :)
Jack really wanted to hold Lacy for a picture.
I have a hard time not laughing at how gigantic she looks here. :)
STORY OF THE FOREST
We were particularly impressed with Lily's performance on the hike. Before we even started, she told me, "I don't want to hike, it's going to make me hungry, and thirsty, and tired."
As you can imagine, I didn't foresee it going incredibly well. We started with the flattest, easiest hike, called Story of the Forest. Her enthusiasm spurred the crazy idea that we could possibly veer from the kid friendly hike and do the steep, Black Hollow Falls. We tried our luck, and much to our surprise, she did extremely well and did the entire two mile hike, steep parts and all, with no complaining. Yay!!
BLACK HOLLOW FALLS
We were lucky enough to capture one of our best family pictures yet.
