Trip to West Point

At the end of August, Mike and I took Elise to West Point to visit our friends, the Reclas!  Thank you, Mimi and Pop, for staying behind with our little potty-trainer.  We got to scope out the houses, parks, places to hike, and see the school where she will go for kindergarten next year.  We're not quite ready to leave Baltimore yet but we are excited to head to West Point in mid to late May.  Thanks to Ben, Kami, Austin, and Lauren for letting us camp out in their new house :)  Before we left, Elise told Jack, "Jack, I have to go to New York with Mommy and Daddy.  But don't worry, I'll be back after one night.  I love you!"

The kids love climbing on the monuments and cannons at West Point... not sure if this is good or not :)

Proof that school buses exist (Jack's favorite!)

Delefield Pond (hard to tell but there is a "beach" and water slides)

A few of the neighborhood parks... it was raining off and on so we didn't get to try them all out.  This one has a paved jogging/bike trail that Elise is excited about.
