Crystal Grottoes

Today we learned all about stalactites and stalagmites at Crystal Grottoes! Before we went down for the tour, we were walking around outside and spotted a snake in the stream! We told the guy and he was happy to have it spotted because he'd been trying to catch it for quite a while. He was successful today - not sure if I was happy or not about that! lol

One-on-One at the Monocacy River

Had such a nice time with N today at the Monocacy River. We were at a spot where a creek meets the river. We waded in the water, hunted for crayfish and fished.  This is definitely his element - and I'm thrilled to have been able to spend the day with him.  All-in-all it was a great day!  :)

Loys Station Park

Our friend Mandy has been telling us about this park, so we decided to meet her and her kids there today! It's such a neat place. The bridge was originally built between 1850 and 1860, but it burned down and was rebuilt in 1991. Owens Creek flows under the bridge. Up the creek from the bridge it's quite shallow and great for playing and looking for crayfish. On the other side of the bridge is a nice swimming hole! The kids had such a great time! I know we'll be back!

Baker Park creek fun

We decided to find a creek to play in today and were happy to find this great spot at Baker Park. It was a nice spot with a log in the water just so that it made a little "falls" that the boys were able to raft slowly down. They loved it! :)
