Chillin' by the creek

It's finally time to go to the creek again! We love to go and spend the whole day just relaxing by the creek and playing in the water. Maybe we'll get to go kayaking again one day!

Ben Ben's first trip to the creek and he loved it! I see many more days down here in his future.

Visiting cousins at Mamaleta's

Ella Claire is very fortunate to have not one, but two cousins very close to her age. The only bad part is that they live 7 hours away in Tennessee. However, when they come to visit Mamaleta, she always calls and askes if EC can come play. It doesn't hurt that Mamaleta makes the best desserts too! EC age 2 and 1/2, Emma age 3 and Adalyn age 2. 

All 5 great grand girls!

Ben Ben had to get in on the visit too. He loves Mamaleta's desserts too!

Off to the cabin!

This year we left the girls take a couple of friends to the cabin. Abby brought Abby Hill and Emily asked Drew to come along. We had a great trip. We took the Suburban on its first long trip with the seats full. It was great. This was also Benjamin's first trip and he was a great traveler!

Finally made it and hanging out on the front porch!

Of course we had to take them down the waterfall road and climb the rocks!

Hanging out on the front porch each morning, just drinking coffee and enjoying the nice cool, mountain weather!

When you go to the cabin, you have to make a trip to the NOC. One of my favorite places for sure!

EC and I went on a hike to see more wa-wa in Blackberry Hollow.

My little hikin' buddy.

The last morning talks before hitting the road to go back home.

Everyone was passed out and exhausted from the fun trip.
