Hidden Ponds

We decided to take a trip to Virginia to visit my folks. Kind of spur of the moment but I am always up for hanging out with my parents. (I could use the help with the kids too!) Josh drove us down on Thursday and had to head back on Sunday. The boys and I are going to stay and visit for the week. It has already been a ton of fun.
While Josh was in town we checked out Hidden Pond Nature Center. Who knew there was a great Nature Center right next to my parents house? I guess Nature Centers are not top priority when you are a teenage girl. I must have had better things to do while I lived in Burke, such as figuring out what I was going to do on the weekends and what boys I liked...
I never knew about it!!

Grady was checking out some "Leprechaun Turtles", or so he named them. Apparently, they live in the pond and "jump". He has such a crazy imagination!

Mom and Myles. M is just along for the ride. Don't worry kid, you will be chasing G before you know it.

Not that close!!!
