Our last day before leaving West Virginia! We've packed, we've cleaned... well, Mom's still inside cleaning while the rest of us go on our final West Virginia hike. Believe me, she's happy about it!
The owner told me early on about a little cave up on the hill, so we decided to go see it.
It was pretty small. I couldn't stand up in it, but the kids could.
We enjoyed climbing on big boulders
Taking pictures of everyone being the same height
The view of the top
And looking down on our Airbnb
Eliza was playing on the hill and I got a couple shots of her that I just feel are gorgeous!
Something about her way as she's playing on the hill. It's lovely!
At one point, Amy pointed and asked "Dad, is this way North?" I had to think about it a minute and confirmed she was correct. "How did you know?" I was guessing because of where the sun was--not far from beginning to set. But nope!
"Because look Dad, the moss is on that side of the trees."
"But why does lichen grow all over?" Well, I sure don't know.
I asked her how she knew about moss growing on the north side and about lichen in the first place. She said "oh I've read about it tons of times!" Of course--books! I love how much she loves books.
As we got down, I liked seeing the little purple flowers blooming in the grass
And the excitement of this boy running in the grass!
It was a fun hike and in a way we're sad to say goodbye to West Virginia, but in a way we're glad to move on, too.
