Simon loved sitting in this helicopter watching the fire-fighting video.
Just when we were ready to leave, we got hit with a big rainstorm. But the kids knew how to take advantage of the situation. This is why we always keep extra clothes in the van.
By then it was too late to get home in time for naps, so we headed up to the Blue Ridge Mountains for a drive while the kids napped in the van. It continued to rain on the drive, but we still got some good views.
