SPRING BREAK ACTIVITIES!

During spring break, we had some friends come to visit.  We went site seeing in Harpers Ferry, went for ice cream at Nutter's, played in the woods, made smores in the yard, and all-in-all had a fantastic time.  Corinne is also a very talented photographer (and should someday do it professionally). This means we have some great photos of our fun.

HARPERS FERRY

The sites of Harpers Ferry are right at the spot where the Potomac River meets the Shenandoah River.  We took the kids across the bridge to play along the C&O Canal.  Their favorite part of the day was throwing rocks at the wall in the dried riverbed of the canal.  I guess that was more fun than the museums. 
Can you blame them? A huge wall? Rocks? It's the perfect combination!

Ben's favorite part? The train, of course.
What a nice train conductor!

NUTTER'S ICE CREAM SHOP

This was their window display. So cute!


It's set up like an old fashioned shop (and their prices are fantastic!) We love going to Nutter's!




Playing in the Yard

We had our first barbeque of the year. I love eatting outside on the deck.


After dinner, we went for a walk in the woods and played by the fort we built with the kids.



We built a fire in our fire ring and made smores. Yum! Any excuse to build a fire and make smores and we'll do it.
