Shenendoah!

Matt and I decided to take a mini-trip with the babies to Shenendoah National Park.  The park borders the Blue Ridge Mountains and is part of the Appalachian Trail...basically a big, beautiful forest!  I researched the area and found that they are home to Black Bears...the website gave all sorts of information on what to do if you see a bear...um...that was a little intimidating!  We were told as long as we stayed on the hiking trails and brought a noisemaker we would be fine.  So, we brought Rocco!  A perfect noisemaker!  We really felt like we were "roughing it" because our room lacked a TV, Wifi and a mini-fridge.  How would we survive?!  We had a great time and so did our little boys.  
 "Roughin' it" with the laptop.  Rocco loves his Curious George DVD!

 Matt's cocktail in a plastic cup.  Real classy!

 Black bear in a tree!  Can you see him?  He was so high up in that tree!
 Black bear again. I need a better camera!
 Road trip...Rocco holding RoRo's bottle for him.  So sweet....

Coolest baby ever.
