The girls slept late this morning so we must have worn them out yesterday. We started the morning with a good breakfast and then off to Mass. Larry had to count poor box and thrift store money for our parish Outreach group so the girls and I went out to the playground. After Larry finished we were off to one of our favorite places -- the Shenandoah River and the "scary bridge." Our grandkids love to skip (or throw) rocks in the river and then walk across the suspension bridge. So that's what we did.

 |
| If you can't skip a rock, the next best thing is... |
 |
| ...a big splash! |
 |
| Now that rock ought to really make a geyser! |
Next destination is around the corner: The Scary Bridge!
 |
| Anya was afraid going across and was happy to get to the stairs on the other side. |
 |
| A quick walk up and down and then back across the bridge. |
 |
| Not so scary now. Every few steps she stopped to jump up and down and give a little body shake. |
We met some critters on our outing.
 |
| A butterfly adopted Larry. |
 |
| Is this fuzzy fella predicting a cold winter? |
Our next outing was the Route 11 potato chip factory. They were doing a massive order for Costco -- sixty pallets of boxes. Wow!
 |
| Who wouldn't love a potato that makes such a yummy chip! |
 |
| The second floor is where they add the flavors. They were making lightly salted today. |
 |
| Talk about "loving" your potato chips -- barbecued for Lauren! |
 |
Marianna preferred sour cream and chives. "They're Mommy's favorite."

Home to swim before heading in to meet Lauren's mom in Centreville.
