Mountain Trip

We traveled to the mountains for MLK weekend with the Collins Family, who are also going to be our new neighbors in 4 short weeks!  We were excited to let the kids vacation together and get excited about living near each other again.  
The first day we hung out in the house while it rained and rained.  We played games, explored the house with all kinds of fun things, including a movie room, and enjoyed each other's company.
Day 2 we headed out for a morning hike near the house for a mile or 2.  Lilli Jane got to ride on our back, but the rest of the kids did such a great job!  



Then we headed to Chimney Rock and hiked up 500 steps to the top since the elevator was broken.  I carried Lilli Jane all the way up!  We felt accomplished!  Kevin carried her down and I think he had the harder job to balance with jello legs.  We both made it.




Day 3 it snowed a very little bit, but the kids had fun and we loved watching it come down in the mountains.  Then we headed to Wolf laurel to tube.  What an experience, it was so much fun!  Again a workout getting kids up the hill and big ice steps, but all had a great hour of fun!

Pigeon Forge Mountain Trip

We purchased a mountain weekend in an auction last year and finally found a weekend to use it.  This was the kids first trip to the mountains, it was amazing to watch their faces as they saw the beautiful mountains on the drive up.  They loved the hills and views, but the house was a lot of fun too!  We crammed a lot into a short weekend while making wonderful memories with Nanny and Grandpa!
