Mountain Weekend 2011


WOW! What a weekend! Our family all traveled to Cashiers, NC and spent the weekend in a beautiful home tucked away in the mountains. After, a week of snow and ice, school closures and delays, we decided to go ahead with our long awaited weekend in the mountains. First we must thank Dana and Jason for this gift to the family.

Throughout the whole weekend I was so thankful that we were all toghether. We arrived Friday night and Carolyn fixed one of the kids favorite meals - HAM Gravy - the meal probably costs $.29 and they love it. Then the fun began as we played games until 2am (Uno, dominoes, blokus)

Other games we played frisbee golf, ping pong, laying track, skip bo, apples to apples, some archery game and I am sure I missed some games. Oh, and we even got grandma Hoyt to play a game of Skip bo.

It is always great to have Natalie and Reese around. Got to love those two. Natalie decide to start calling me bubba and she somehow communicated that to Reese and now she is saying bubba. Not sure she is calling me that or just saying words.

Uncle Nick and Aunt Jessica got Natalie and Reese strollers for Christmas and all through the weekend Reese pushed Natalie around in her stroller. It was also so much fun to play on the air mattress with them or to watch them point out the "moose" or "the antelered rabbit." What cuties and so much fun to be around.

Each of the kids cooked one meal. Nick and Jessica made a delicious menu they found on Rachel Ray. Nate and Molly fixed Molly's 3 time award winning chili. Renee and Ryan tacos. Dana and Jason sloppy Joe's. YUM YUM as Natalie and Reese would say.



Can't forget Jason and his puzzle. It was completed (1000 piece) within 2 days and three cups of coffee per day.

There are so many GREAT MEMORIES from a weekend such as this! All I really want to say is God is good. He has truly blessed me and I love my family.
