Back to our Land That We Love Tour for our last full day in North Carolina and our departures on Sunday the third of October.
On Saturday the 2nd of October we enjoyed park time, lunch at the local Mexican restaurant and then some time at the Bride and Groom’s home for an open house.
Following Baba back to the cars.
After the open house the guys and Katie went on a shopping excursion the rest of the girls and Addy and JJ went back to our VRBO. What we didn’t realize was that the car that went shopping had both keys to the house and we panicked for a short time until genius Laura checked under a planter and found a spare key that the owners left. Whew! Naptime and later a quick dip in the lake and a relaxing evening.
Snuggle time before naps.
Josh was the only one of us who decided to take a leap into Lake Hickory.
The rest of us just watched from the deck.
On Sunday Dear and I left to continue our Land That We Love Tour.
Goodbye to our home away from home.
Our kids loaded up later than us and headed to Raleigh for their flight home, stopping at a Cracker Barrel for breakfast.
More park time before their flight.
We were on the road again heading through the mountains of North Carolina into Tennessee. More about our day of travel later.
Back to the present we had another dusting of fluffy snow on Monday evening. It was fun to watch it fall. Tuesday morning was above freezing and the fluff melted off quickly.
…a fun time.
Looks like a great time was had by all!
How brave to leap into the water!
Your family sure knows how to maximize the fun times!
Such cute faces❤️
Ellen – at first, I thought maybe that van-ful of family had driven all the way across the country too! Then I read on and saw they flew. But still good to have an opportunity for the kids to blow off some energy! It has been snowing steadily here for the last week – the trees are coated in white and it is so pretty.
Angie, it gives new meaning to ‘flocked’ Christmas trees when you see them in the wild.
What happy family times. That lake looks so beautiful. B x
