What a BEAUTIFUL day! We decided to try out a new park and found a fantastic one in Richmond. It was a bit of a drive, but well worth it. They had a great playground that included a climbing rock with dinosaur bones carved into it (the girls thought that was really cool). We ate lunch in a nice shady spot & then ventured over to the nature center. They had a huge display of local animals and aquariums galore. We really enjoyed the naturalist display, the birds, and the insects. After we cooled off inside, we hit the trails that ran around the lakes. We walked around two of the lakes and it was only a mile or so which was perfect for little legs! If you decide to go there yourself..watch out for poison ivy! It was everywhere and after a few brushes with it, we washed our legs in the bathroom. My poor children will be in therapy over my poison ivy obsession. I never got it as a child, but I've had it too many times as an adult and I can't stand it!!!! My family makes fun of me for constantly pointing it out, but having it all over your belly & arms after giving birth would drive anyone to paranoia!! How did that happen you ask? Well, the day before Sadie was born, I had my mom take pictures of me outside with my belly exposed. At one point, I asked the girls to place their hands on my belly without knowing that they had been hanging on to poison ivy vines around a tree. Wouldn't you know it...the next morning there it was and I was in labor!!!!!
