C'Ville

We have already grown fond of Charlottesville.  It is very friendly, our ward and neighbors are great, and there is lots to do.  We have been busy with school and discovering our new town.  We live in the family housing on campus which we feel was a smart move because its super cheap (relative to the rest of Virginia), great location, and lots of fun families as our neighbors.  Family housing is very diverse and we find ourselves being in the minority here, and its fun to hear so many languages on one playground.  The law school is a 5 minute walk from our door and Logan gets to come home each day for lunch which is nice.
We play outside a lot and there is a playground right across the street.  I put some goldfish in Jack's water table the other day.  They didn't last long.    There are so many parks, pools and splash pads that its going to take us a while to get to all of them.  One of our favorite activities so far is Carter Mountain Orchard.  We picked our own apples and peaches.  Super fun.  Jack loved it and still talks about it.  

Jack playing with goldfish.  I regretted this activity almost immediately.

Carter Mountain.  An Orchard where you can pick your own fruit.  Genius isn't it, to trick us into doing the work and we think its fun.


In the 45 minutes we were there, Jack had eaten an entire apple and a peach.





And when I say he ate a whole apple, I really mean he eats the WHOLE apple if I don't pay attention.




Logan's first catch in Virginia.  Cool tail hu?
