Waller Mill Park

Our Second outing was to visit Grammy and Grandpa for a bit and then head over to Waller Mill Park in Williamsburg! For this outing we invited Travis's Sister Jennifer and her Family to join us! We had only ever been to the Waller Mill Dog Park before and that was years ago, so we really had no idea what to expect and was pleasantly surprised by how much fun it was!
We get there and walk across this awesome bridge to get across the resourvoir.

We didnt get to see him but Jennifer, Brian and the twins saw a big turtle swimming under the bridge.

We let the kids play on the playground for a while before trecking out to walk one of the many trails around the park.

Of course the boys are in heaven finding walking sticks and exploring the path while Maggie and Carolyn take a more leasurely pace. I do believe Maggie rode on daddy's shoulders for most of the walk which ended up being about a mile or so which was good for Daddy since he was going hiking in the back country of Shennadoah the next weekend and Maggie is about the same weight as his pack.

On our walk we ran into a tree that had fallen over and it was big enough that Liam could stand in the hole under it. They also found a pretty awesome Frog Friend that they played with for a bit!

Even with all the whining by the end of the hike it was still an awesome family outing. Looking forward to going back and maybe taking a canoe or paddleboat out on the water next time!
