Mount Scott

One weekend last month we took the girls to Mount Scott and then had dinner in Medicine Park. Grace had been wanting to go climb the mountain again. When we got to the top, Grace found a bunch of ladybugs! She loves to examine insects so she had fun catching lady bugs and then letting them go again.

 Then she was ready to climb like her Uncle Billy.

 Even Olivia wanted in on the fun of climbing. She did a really good job!

We had dinner at the Old Plantation restaurant and then had planned to get some ice cream at a little shop nearby but it was already closed for the night. We walked down the riverwalk a bit so the girls could explore a little more. I think they had a pretty good time!

Tallest Hop Scotch Mountain

Every time we drive into town we pass by (in the distance) Mt. Scott. Grace loves to point out "tallest mountain" (there is a Dora episode where they have to get to tallest mountain) and talk about climbing to the top of it. We drove to the top of it earlier this year but it was too cold and windy to climb. We decided to take her over Memorial day weekend when the weather was a lot nicer. I told her we were going to Mt. Scott and she though I said "scotch." Hop Scotch is a new game she likes to play so she started calling Mt. Scott "Tallest Hop Scotch Mountain"

She did a pretty good job climbing!

And afterwards we cooled off in the pool!
