Family Trip

Well, as you all know from my last post we went to West Virginia for a long weekend (a couple of weekends ago). We started off our trip taking the girls fishing. Martha and Grace both caught their first fish! They were so excited, but the excitement didn't last long enough for Pat. lol! We went to Seneca Rocks and stayed in a little cabin and went swimming in the indoor pool there. We had a great view of Seneca Rocks and when we woke up in the morning, it was just beautiful to see that from our deck. Patrick took Grace and Martha to the tee pees to look inside and around the campsite. They had a nice walk. After checking out from there we headed to Canaan Valley State Park. The deer there come right up to your vehicles. We went to the little nature building they had there and then we played miniature golf. When we finished there, we headed to Black Water Falls. We had a picnic and looked at the falls from the overlook there and then went to the gift shop to buy some souvenirs. We didn't actually make it to the bottom of the falls. There are 214 steps down. By the time we were ready to go, the kids had reached their limit. So we headed towards home. We made it to Cumberland, MD before we had all had enough. We checked in to our motel and had dinner and went swimming again. Even with all my protests, we had a really nice time. It was tiring, but nice to be together!

My little fisher"girls"!

Pat's mom came to visit us, she only lives 20 minutes from where we stayed on Thursday night!

The kids love visiting with their Gram!

A very casual family picture! We were all pretty tired!
