Camping, Next Mountain To The West

[check back later for pictures]

Oct 20-21, This weekend Liam wanted to camp but wanted to go someplace different. We drove farther west past the mountain we usually camp on top of and over the next one to a nice valley. We would have went to Shenandoah National Park but I knew they had a burn ban so we tried the National Forest, and Liam really likes having a campfire. We found a great campsite along what would have been a large stream if there wasn't a drought. Unfortunately there were bright orange and yellow signs informing us that the Forest Service also had a burn ban. Liam was disappointed but still enjoyed camping.

The next morning we went for a hike in the forest then drove back to the city. We had time to let Liam play on a tire-swing before I took him back to his mother.

Train Ride

Oct 14 - When Liam saw the model trains last weekend he asked to ride a train, so today I took him to ride the Walkersville Railroad. Of course he brought Teeny with him. We enjoyed the ride. After that he wanted to see more model trains so we stopped at a museum in Brunswick Md. Once again he like watching the trains and following them.

Short Visit

Oct 10 - Today Liam asked to see me so his mother let us spend a little time together. Liam enjoyed singing along with his music. He also does an attempt at dancing while sitting in his car seat which is cute to watch but I have to remind him not to get carried away so he doesn't hit his head on the window. We also read some books together.
