Our trip to W. Virginia

My new thought is that 6 hours in the van is a little too long for a 1 year old and 3 year old. We stopped at least twice, but it was just too long for them to be in the car.

We did a little exploring in the national forest. Checked out leaves...

and the falls...

It was a little noisy for William, so he was plugging his ears. (so cute!)

Me and the cuties.

Our family picture from the trip.

We had to climb a lot of steps. William was working hard. He wouldn't let us carry him either, no matter how tired he got.

William loved looking for leaves. :)

We took a little break. We were all tired from the lack of sleep all weekend.

The deer hung out around the resort. People feed them, so they were a little too friendly. They got really close. The kids loved them.

Ella and I went swimming THREE TIMES. She absolutely loves the pool, and if it were up to her, we'd still be in it right now.

It was fun seeing a new area, and the mountains and trees were quite beautiful, but none of us slept all that well, making some of us a little cranky. :) I'd love to fly somewhere warm in the winter, but as of now, Ella is adamantly against getting on a plane. We'll see...
