Better late than never....

Our computer is finally up and running. So now I can post pictures of the weekend trip we took a few weeks ago to Banner Elk, NC. Banner Elk is a ski town up in the mountains, we hope to go back this season and snow mobile! We took the kids and had a great time exploring!

We hiked a 2 mile trail to a secluded waterfall area. (I would not have worn flip flops had I known we were going to do this)

It was a nice afternoon and everyone enjoyed playing in the water....

We also went to Mast General Store, its an old style country store that had lots of fun stuff to look at. Plus they had a full candy store, you could get any candy you could think of. Of course we got a bag! Nate did some rainbow trout fishing, and the highlight of the trip for me was the blueberry patch that we found, that was 10 acres, and we picked 2 gallons of blueberries. (Yes the fruit bat in me came out)

Finally, we drove to Grand Father Mountain, where the largest Highland Games Event is held in North Carolina. Nate is so excited, he cant wait to go next year!
