older kids family photos wolf trap national park virginia 1 by Alison Bell, Photographer

Family of 5 with older kids

COVID reschedule no. 1 took me to Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts for the first time ever. Usually this park hosts events several nights a week making it nearly impossible for photos.

It was almost impossible this time because there were so large many family groups hanging out, even in the parking lot!

But Mom was chill. Having some buildings in the background tells the story of one their frequent hangouts. Can you see where I removed some folks?!

What is Wolf Trap National Park?

Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts has one large open air amphitheater and several small stages throughout the property. There’s creek and walking trails that are heavily shaded. The grassy hills are kept short, and make great shade in the evening. One parking lot is full of long grass at the moment. They may keep it grassy, or it may be a result of quarantine.
