NC Mtns with Wonderful Friends!

Get ready for a picture overload! Last weekend we went to the mountains with some great friends - 8 adults and 8 kids, to be exact. We had so much fun, it was so good to stay up late playing games and laughing. I'm already ready to go back.
On our first day we went to Sliding rock. Parks took most of the kids down the rock into the icy water and most of them actually liked it. We concluded that the water didn't feel so bad once your feet got numb, I didn't get any further in than that.

June was happy

Ryan, Parks, & DJ climbed up the rock and into a crazy deep hole. The nervous wives were asking them to come down but they claimed not to hear us over the waterfall...hmmm

Grace (our fabulous hostess!) and her Samuel. I wish I got a picture of him and Charlotte together, they are partners in crime. Almost like siblings, loving to be together and loving to bop each other on the head at every opportunity.

One evening Lily Kate coerced Jacob into doing a show for us. As you can imagine, the "show" didn't have a storyline or make much sense at all, but it was filled with Lily Kate making large, sweeping gestures and curtseying and Jacob turning backward, trying to blend into the fireplace. I love this shot because Jacob's face just says, "get me out of here" and Lily Kate couldn't be happier to have an audience :)
