Last week, Luke was on Spring Break, so me and a couple of other Moms planned a little field trip on one of the days. We picked Tuesday, because it was supposed to be the warmest and driest day of the week, and boy did we pick correctly... it was a BEAUTIFUL day!! We took all the chillins' to Maymont Park.
This was our view from where we had our little picnic when we first arrived.
My friend Andrea and her two boys (Luke's & Grey's BFFs), Lucas & Matt.
My friend Liz and her two kids, Grayson and Savannah.
The park is filled with many beautiful sights. This little waterfall as in the Raptor Valley exhibit. This exhibit showcased many prey birds native to this area.
After wondering through the animal farm and seeing the birds, we made our way to the most beautiful spot in the entire park, the Japanese Garden. At the beginning of this Garden, there is a big waterfall. Luke climbed up to the look-out point to check it out.
Beautiful little Japanese Maple
I had just yelled at Grey for trying to climb a too big rock for him, so he plopped himself down along the path and pouted.
Once the boys saw the Koi, I knew we wouldn't be leaving anytime soon.
Grey could have stayed in this spot all day watching them.
A lady who had bread for her grandchildren, was nice enough to share a few pieces with the boys so they could feed the fish.
Tried to get a pic of the Faucheux/Keller boys. This was the best out of about 20 shots.
We eventually claimed a beautiful little spot along a little creek as our own, and hung out there for the rest of our stay. This was our view...
Andrea was holding my camera while I was rescuing Grey from a too high spot that he climbed to. When we got back down to the bottom, Andrea snapped this pic of us.
Loved the reflection of the big Japanese Maple we were sitting under, in the creek
Luke sat still long enough for me to take this pic. Don't know why he was so serious.
Our day at the park was a LOT of fun, and us three Moms vowed to do it again soon. I just loved seeing my boys interact with their little friends.
Even though we eventually had to leave the park, fun for the boys, for the day, wasn't over. We had carpooled with Liz, who lives on a beautiful farm. When we got back, before getting in the car and heading home, the boys went to watch Savannah feed the chickens.
Savannah gave Luke the responsibility of holding the eggs while she got the feed.
The Goodwin Barn... LOVE!
Our one Fun Packed Day of Spring Break was definitely one to remember.
