playtime at valley forge park

not only was i lucky enough to see my niece last weekend (and capture a picture that i just can't stop staring at!), but on sunday morning we got a great surprise visit from my nephew!! it's pretty rare that we have guests at our house, we're typically on the go and looking for a reason to get out of the house, so this was a real nice treat!

between the little fledgling's nap times, we traipsed around valley forge national park and soaked in the sun...doesn't B look too cool for school in his babiators?! :)


he likely would've been just as happy hanging out in the bed of his dad's truck all afternoon, but we strapped him into his little red wagon and went off to explore the various landmarks around the park. probably should have a little more knowledge of the history surrounding valley forge after living with it in my backyard for so many years, but for the short amount of time we were there i was more than content just pointing my lens at the pretty things i saw.


from the car, the grass might look really lush and well maintained (and it is for such a vast piece of land), but the uneven footing and undulating hills did not make for an easy walk for teeny legs! luckily crocs are perfect for off-roading!


we played with acorns, sticks, shadows...and almost an innocent bystander's iphone :).




it was a successful adventure with the funniest little guy i know...but i know his highlights of the day probably included eating pb&j and getting sprayed by the garden hose at home. it's the little things, that make us happy, right?! xo!!
