This Saturday David and I decided to head to the mountains for a little cooler weather. After a two and a half hour car ride (which includes the 40 minute wrong turn detour-that is sadly my fault) in which Annalise was screaming and Judah, who gets carsick, was yelling-"I can't take it anymore," I was ready to pull over at McDonalds and get the kiddos french fries until they hit carb lala-land. However, we stayed the course-the right course after that wrong turn-and ended up at the southern edge of the Pisgah Forest, which is absolutely beautiful. The kids had a great time and so did David and I. We maybe could have pulled over anywhere and would have rejoiced just to be out of the car, but shortly after our arrival and while we ate our picnic lunch- the kids all expressed their gratitude to be there. And we had hours of outdoor adventure fun-with no rules and no carseats!

| Yes-grandparents-she is strapped in! |

| We found bears-thankfully they were stuffed. |
 |
| We took a fun dip in the river while it rained. |
 |
| And decided to cross the river to shorten the walk back-David had to help us all across. |
HA-- Judah is hilarious. Looks heavenly & cool. Glad you had fun!
