Labor Day

We went to Prince William Forest Park on Labor Day. We love this place because it's never crowded. We stopped at the playground first and the kids had fun even though it had rained and everything was wet. We went on a short hike to our favorite little swimming hole. We waded down the river to a point where it gets just deep enough to swim. After hiking we stopped at the playground once more before heading home to prepare for the first day of school.

The kids had fun playing with this little lizard. Until another kid at the playground killed it.

the great outdoors.

We wanted to do something outdoors over Labor Day weekend that didn't involve crowds. Saturday was a hot day but we decided to do a hike in Prince William Forest that is fairly short and very shady. Plus, you are rewarded with the perfect swimmin' hole in the river. We had the place to ourselves. The water was warmer than we've experienced before and the kids loved splashing around and climbing over the rocks.
