The Lake District

We just got back from a wonderful week at the Lake District with our friends the Strohmeyers. We arrived on Monday night and wanted to take it easy for the first night so we hit the pool. The last time at the pool (Paris before Christmas) Chase wasn't too interested but this time he loved it! The first day the weather wasn't the best so we did the boat/train/aquarium package.









Using the double stoller!


The weather wasn't much better the second day but we had to try a hike. We wanted to go further but we figured the cloud line was good enough!




We hit the Adventure Playground and I think the big boys had more fun than the little boys!



The third day we had a beautiful afternoon so we took a hike to some waterfalls! The scenery was beautiful!




On our way home we stopped by York and loved it! We found a mexican restaurant we had to go to. There are not too many here. They had free kids meals so Chase got his very own meal! The boys don't understand to look at the camera when using the self timer!
Then when we thought we were finally headed home we saw the sign for Cawood village and had to stop!






We heard from Brad's grandma that there was a Cawood (apparently the family added a 'y' to the name when they came to the US) Castle and we almost missed it driving by!

Thanks Strohmeyers for hanging out with us this week - it was fun seeing William and Chase interact more, switching off date nights, game night and fellowship!
