Fall fun

We met our friends Rena and Steve at a cabin in Virginia recently for a weekend of outdoorsy fun with our combined 5 children in tow. That's 5 kids under the age of 4 for anyone who's keeping track of those things. Oy.

This is the second annual trek into the forest for hiking, playing, cooking, and hanging out. I'd like to say it is relaxing, but that would be a lie! But it is definitely fun. Our kids get along very well, so it makes getting together all the more special. Rena and I recalled during this trip that we were younger than Luke and her daughter Katelynn when she and I first met!

Last year, Rena and I were both pregnant with our Matthews, so we spent a lot of the weekend napping. We were all decidedly more active this trip! So below are some of our favorite pictures from the weekend. Can't wait to do it again next year!
