To the Mountains...

We headed to Blowing Rock for one last vacation before summer ends. We entertained ourselves on the ride by singing and when that wasn't enough, Olivia found other ways to entertain herself.


She found it absolutely hilarious to stick her fingers up her nose. It must be a funny thing how those little fingers fit so perfectly!

She cuddled with baby Cinderella.

And "snacked" on her foot.


Once we got to the mountains, Olivia enjoyed playing with friends Parker and Will.

She started doing a new thing where if you told her to say cheese, she'd excitedly say "CHEESE" with a big grin on her face for the camera.

The kids even had a great time taking baths together!

The view from the deck was beautiful!
Olivia was on duty, keeping the deck nice and clean for us.

Every now and again, she'd take a break from sweeping to check out what daddy was doing and would yell "I see you daddy!" It was really cute!

We attempted to pick fresh blackberries to make a blackberry cobbler, but were just a little too late so we settled for a couple fresh blackberries each instead.
We enjoyed a picnic.

And got to see lots of butterflies!

The older kids had fun splashing around in the creek...

...and running around in the openness...

...while baby Noah enjoyed lounging in the sun.

We enjoyed exploring Boone and downtown Blowing Rock...

...while Olivia enjoyed a chocolate covered pretzel.

We drove through the Blue Ridge Parkway...

...and I got kisses from my sweet baby girl.

At night, we sat around a campfire.

Just before leaving to come back home, we stopped at the Mast General Store and Olivia picked out her first car toy...a pink car of course!


We had such a great time with the Cowherd's and Lazinek's and can't wait for our next trip together!
