bluebells.

A few weeks ago I started off Spring Break by taking the kids to see the bluebells at Bull Run Park. This is one of my absolute favorite walks in the area. The path is lined with fields of bluebells that seem to go on forever. The trail follows a river that winds through the woods and each side of the river is covered in bluebells. The loop is about 1 1/2 miles. And took us almost 2 hours to complete. Oliver did not want to be in the backpack so we slowly made our way down the trail at his wandering pace, continually redirecting him. He was determined to slide down the bank and get into that river! And he was really good at finding every bit of water and mud. The girls busied themselves searching for fairy houses. We didn't pass a single person on the whole trail.

The trail looked much different a few months ago on our camping trip.
