Fallingwater with my boys!

My husband had to work today, so I decided that I was going to spend Mother's Day out and about with my boys. I live about 20 minutes from Fallingwater in Mill Run Pennsylvania. It's a wonderfully famous house that was designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright. People travel from all over the country and the world to see it, and yet today it was my first time.

There were people from all over the place today- we met a very nice couple from England!

I had all intentions on having a picnic on a grassy lawn somewhere, but there was no picnicking allowed! As you can see from the following photos, we had a picnic lunch in the back of our car! The boys thought it was fun! We had sandwiches, chips, bug juice, and red Swedish fish!

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take a tour inside the house. Children must be at least 6-years-old to be admitted inside the house! I do understand why they do that. I wouldn't feel comfortable with taking my children in a multi-million dollar home, especially by myself.

My boys listen very well, but still I can already see Alex causing trouble behind my back. All I can picture is him defacing the original Picasso painting that hangs on the wall in the house!

The man I met from England didn't understand why children were not allowed...he said "What...children at that age cannot learn?" I do understand his point. But I was happy staying outside and enjoying the scenery!

Here are the boys eating lunch in the trunk of the car!

Here they are running up the trail!

I just love this picture of them! Alex's expression is just priceless!

And the following photo is from two years ago when Brad and Angelina visited Fallingwater! This photo came out in our newspaper after their visit. It was all hush hush...none of the locals knew about it until after they left! But still...how fun! I hope that you too can visit Fallingwater sometime! I'm very fortunate to live in a very beautiful part of Pennsylvania...even though I complain about the weather alot!

Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day!
