Family:

Last Sunday Bryce's family had one of their family reunions. It's been fun to take the kids to them while we have lived here. It's always good to see and meet extended family. Here are a few pictures from it.

LEAF FESTIVAL:

Here are a few pictures from a few months ago. We went to a three day festival called LEAF (Lake Eden Art Festival). We can't wait for LEAF in October. They have the festival twice a year once in the spring and once in the fall. Hands down the best festival we have ever been to. The kids loved it. Isabelle set up shop every day at the kids village where she could pay $3 and sell her homemade items. She made rubberband yoyos out of rubberbands that Bryce collected at the bank. Isabelle made around $200 dollars.

Chimney Rock:

A few weeks back Isabelle had a Girl Scout trip at a place called Chimney Rock. It's a beautiful place to see and hike. While Isabelle was doing her thing with the girls, the rest of our family hiked up to Chimney Rock and it's waterfalls. The mountain that Chimney rock is on is the mountain where Last of the Mohicans was filmed at the end of the movie where they show the people falling off the waterfall. Down the road at Lake Lure is also an area where the movie Dirty Dancing was filmed. So there's a little FYI for all you movie lovers. The sad news about this blog is that a few weeks after we hiked to Chimney Rock, a 2 year old made his way under the fence that surrounds Chimney Rock and fell hundreds of feet to his death. After Isabelle was done we made our way down to the river and had a picnic. The kids were playing in the slow paced water, when a lady told Bryce that they had just seen a few snakes up river from where we were at and that they may be on their way down to us. We pulled the kids out of the water and with in a few seconds we had spotted a handfull of snakes. Enjoy the pictures from that day.

Bus update:

Here is a photolog of what's happening to the bus. It's been primed with white primer and we were lucky enough to get a load of nice oak flooring that was pulled from a house with flood damage. Enjoy the pictures.
