Brandywine Falls

Last Saturday, we went with Rachel and Brandon and their kids to Brandywine Falls. It was Grace's first hike ever, and our first hike of the summer, and it felt SO nice to be out enjoying nature on such a gorgeous, sunny day!


There was a really nice wooden path to take down to the Falls...


...and some beautiful foliage along the way too!



Brandywine Falls:


Jenna wanted to take a picture with me and Grace and we were happy to oblige! (Notice Grace eating the pack strap=) .)

Grace and me at the Falls (you may have noticed that we started out with the stroller but had to later transfer to the front pack when we reached some stairs on the trail, as strollers and stairs don't mix):

A family portrait:


After the hike, we had a nice picnic near the woods and tossed around a football and frisbee for a while. It was a wonderful Labor Day weekend activity. Thanks again Brandon and Rachel for inviting us! We had a great time!

Those pictures are beautiful and inviting. I love the oned o fyou and Grace snuggeling. That's nice that at least half of it was stroller accessable.
