We took 3 toddlers, ages 2, 3, & 4 to Ocean City, Maryland for a long weekend and we didn't end up in a mental institution, although that sounded more relaxing then wrangling these sand covered monkeys. It was of course exhausting but we had a blast and I think the kids fell in love with the beach too!
Take me back!!
Read MoreFall is booking up fast and Im always looking for new locations to shoot. So, this weekend we jumped in the car and scouted out some local farms and I think we have a winner folks, Mackintosh Fruit Farm in Berryville VA! River loved running around here, he was a little grumpy at first since we woke him from his sweet car nap but he soon found his happy place-outside and eating! He did fall and get a minor boo boo, probably because he will only wear his snow boots _eyeroll_ but it was easily fixed with momma kisses and he was back up and running in no time! This place is magical and I cant wait to bring some of my families here for apple picking and sunset sessions!!!

I refuse to clean them off, they serve as a reminder that he wont always be this little, he wont always have his sticky hands on everything in this house. One day he will be gone, this house will be still, the quietness will be deafening and what fun will that be?? Im desperately clinging to each moment we are in this season of life, he is going like a weed and with every new word or skill he learns I know I am one day closer to giving this little boy to the world.
