North Carolina 2012

We were lucky enough to escape the heat and power outages in our area to enjoy the cool weather in the mountains of North Carolina.

Gone Fishing!!! The little ones grab their fishing poles and try to catch one. We didn't, but had some fun trying...





Our first hike of the trip to enjoy the beautiful Linville Falls.




They had to stand on the tree stumps.



Our second hike to enjoy the beautiful mountain views...

Time with family!

We were able to see, and spend time with, our extended families while we were there. Nanny got to spend time with her great grandkids and we got to meet Barbara and Joe.


 BBQ and roasting marshmallows on the porch.







Lunch and ice cream in Banner Elk with Barbara and Joe. 


Happy Father's Day!!!
