On Tuesday we visited the Cradle of Forestry in Pisgah National Forest. It was a rainy day, so I assumed that we would just enjoy the indoor exhibits... After a picnic in the car, however, the kids decided they were up for a hike in the rain! So we headed out on the Forest Discovery Trail loop where we got to see old equipment used to cut down trees, make roads, and even this steam engine.
The kids were able to get up inside the engine and ring the bell. Max could have rang that bell all day I think!
Here's Ruby ringing the bell. She's trying to watch the string move to see where the bell is!
On Thursday we got together with a lot of our MOPS friends down at Sycamore Flats for a picnic and to play in the river. Max managed to get soaked from head to toe twice in the freezing water and was already in his dry clothes by the time this photo was taken.
Max was playing "Keep Away" with his friend Balin. Balin wanted to chase Max and didn't like that one bit. Looks like we still have some work to do on the sharing concept.
Here's Ruby down by the Davidson River. She had changed into her boots by this point and was about ready to leave. We did have a great time chatting and playing with friends though. We are so thankful for the friends that God has blessed us with here!Today, we are busy with Bible Study this morning and will just relax and play at home this afternoon. It was forecasted to be a rainy day today, but instead we have clear blue skies and temperatures in the 70s! Yea!! Gotta love those happy surprises!
