First we went to Luray Caverns and arrived early enough to avoid any lines, yay!
Our preschooler wanted to be carried most of the time and had fun discovering the caverns with his dad.
I carried our toddler sometimes but he liked walking too. His favorite part of it all was probably all the rails.
The second pic is the two boys splashing in a puddle.
Checking out the organ.
There are about 70 steps (which aren't exactly flat & uniform) to get into the caverns. I carried our toddler down them at the beginning, but by the end he was comfortable and having fun and did every last step himself, while holding the rail with one hand and my hand with the other.

My big sister joined us for the rest of our day in Luray and the boys were excited to see her.
Next we went to the garden maze. They really loved all the pinwheel type things and the mist. Our toddler especially enjoyed the mist.
When we'd made it through I asked our preschooler if he preferred to be the leader or the caboose and he said caboose.
Then we checked out the animals at the Luray Rescue Zoo.
The Reptile House. Our toddler was quite mesmerized by the snakes that moved a lot.
He also had a hard time leaving Bella, the friendly monkey in the picture on the left.
They both loved feeding the goats. We helped our toddler open his hand for them quite a bit, but it was hard to keep up with him and he'd grab at anything (tiny blades of grass, etc.) and try to feed it to them.
It was fun to see their tiger, Star. And all the other animals too.
It was a nice getaway but it was time to head home. Our preschooler really wanted another night in a hotel. I think he liked us all in the same room, and especially that he got to share a bed with daddy.
