Luray Part II - Hiking and 3,642 feet

We went on our second camping trip to Luray, VA and had lots of fun at the Jellystone Campground.The water in the pool was freezing! I had a conversation with one of the VA locals and it went something like this Me: "Gosh the water is cold" Nice VA Lady "Yup, it's always cawld... Juuune, Juuuulie, Awguuust...it's aways cawld". That is the best I could do with the phonetic spelling. Perhaps you had to be there for the accent.
He has no sense so he just jumped right in!
The baby pool was warmer, but that could be due to other factors outside of the weather.

They had these awesome jumping pillows - you could probably shoot yourself up to space if you jumped hard enough. The kids loved these (all 3 of them).We hiked to a waterfall in the Shenandoah State Park. The kids were great for such a long walk with the exception of the pony incident.
I suggested that Bella's pony ride in Daddy's backpack on the way up since she kept loosing her balance. That did not go over well and The Boy volunteered to take care of her and walked hand in hand with her all the way back telling her that it was O.k. It's nice to see that they love eachother beneath all the bickering.Our second hike was a bit harder. We hiked to the top of Little Stony Man and they said it was good for the ages of our 2 monkeys. Well, be very careful when you listen to the Ranger because when you get up there it's you.... 2 crazy kids and a 3,642 feet drop.
It was a great way to get a quiet ride back to the campground.
