Some of my family and friends somewhat teased me when we were preparing to move to small town Virginia after spending a year in Southern California. They would say "how are you going to survive just going to a regular park after a year of visiting Disneyland (or Sea World) once a week?" Well in Lexington we have this wonderful place called Boxerwood Gardens. It is actually 31 acres total but we spend most of our time in the small Play Area complete with a mud kitchen, tunnels, small creek, sand area, hammock, and twisty trails. It has become our new favorite place and is minutes from our home. No traffic to park, no long lines, and last week we were the only family there. Nothing beats laying on the grass trying to catch the leaves falling from the trees or watching my girls swing in a hammock, not even Disneyland.
Plus... It's FREE!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking us to Boxerwood Gardens this weekend. We loved it! It was beautiful and so fun to see all the kids playing in nature. I miss sweet Leland and Lucy already.
ReplyDeleteWow I can't believe how kids change in just two short months, well Lucy anyways. You are right she looks nothing like Leland, even when Leland was that small. I hope to see you guys soon, we are leaning toward Baltimore for Christmas, that would be awesome to run into you there.
ReplyDeleteLucy has changed so much! So looks so big! I can't wait to see you at Christmas! Yay! ~Tiffany
ReplyDeleteSo glad you took us to the Gardens. Watching Leah washing her shells in the stream....Nicholas running in and out of the moss covered tunnel...Afton counting her bucket of chestnuts and Leland digging her way to China. Then all the little ones on their daddy's shoulders. It was heavenly!
ReplyDeleteLucy does look so big! Darling girls! I wish I had some big, open place to go to. Miss you!
