We were excited to be invited up to the Good's mountain house for a few days and we were very blessed to have the kids and the dog to go with us! We went up Thursday afternoon and went to Innovation Brewery which was pretty good. Kids weren't too thrilled, but the adults enjoyed it! We grilled out Thursday night and took a jaunt on the Blue Ridge Parkway on Friday. Krista told us about an "easy" trail to visit Waterrock Knob ... well, it definitely wasn't easy and only Molly & Ian made it to the top. Bonner had a panic attack and Barrett was sweating it so he opted to stay back with her while Belle and I followed on Ian's heels. It was a beautiful site, but as I got to the top, I realized that I did not have a phone with me to even snap a picture of my accomplishment - or Ian's! Anyway, as we were walking back to the car, Bonner was politely informing those starting on their adventure that "You will die! It is horrible!" She is probably going to grow up to be quite an adventurer - but it was really funny to hear her trying to scare everyone else into not doing it!
After the epic hike, we landed at Frog Level Brewery in Waynesville. It was a beautiful set-up on the river and there was a great guitarist playing outside.
Boys were definitely comfortable with their IPAs!
I hope these girls stay friends forever ...
And this guy had his best friend with him so he wasn't even complaining! Belle just sat and took it all in while Ian ran around with the girls!
On Saturday, we got up, cleaned up, and got dressed to go rafting. Matt, Krista, and Molly had to head back to Greenville to pick up the twins from camp so just the 4 of us set out on our adventure down the Tuskegee. Apparently, you can only do this on days when they release water upstream since the rocks at places are pretty high. We had fun - some tears were shed and some language spoken, but all and all, we survived! I didn't get "an after" picture because no one was speaking to me by then ;-)
