Burgess Falls

We had a really busy weekend with church events and responsibilities this weekend, so we decided to head out to do something as a family Friday evening after dinner. We went to Burgess Falls state park, south of town. They have a really wide trail that runs above the more "rugged" trail, which is great for the boys. They love walking on trails like this and of course, picking up rocks and sticks. Once you get down to the falls, there's a safe area where the kids can stand and look at the falls. Burgess Falls also has a great playground. Once we finished the trail and some snacks, we headed there next. We happened to run into some acquaintances of ours, the youth minister, Daniel and his wife, Faith, from the Methodist church. Ryan has known Daniel for a while, and I recently met Faith at the MOPS (moms of preschoolers) meetings that I recently started going to. We had a fun time hanging out with them and their kids on the playground. They have three kids who are very close to Josiah and Aedan's ages: Caleb who is 3 (born in Dec, like Josiah), Stephen (who turns 2 next month), and also a little baby girl, Sarah Beth, who I think is about 8 months or so. The kids all played great together, and we enjoyed the adult company:)

ready to go!

hugs!!

walking on the trail...Aedan does his best to keep up! He definitely wants to walk if he can. As soon as I get him out of the car (when he sees Josiah is going to walk he says, "I walk."

Aedan and Ryan

I realized when we were out that I don't have many pictures of just Aedan and Ryan together.

Ryan and Aedan

I didn't get any pictures of us with Daniel and Faith with their kids on the playground. I didn't want to seem like too much of a weirdo. I'll save the picture taking for next time we hang out with them. haha
