Well, it's that time of year again! Each fall we like to go visit my parents in Western North Carolina to see the beautiful fall color in the mountains. This year we began our trip by visiting Florence and had fun visiting with friends.We took Maggie to the park we used to frequent. She loved swinging!
We had a fun visit with Daniel and Abbe and their sweet kids! We also got to attend the wedding of a friend from church and see many of our Woodmont friends at the reception.
Then it was off to NC!
Maggie had fun visiting with Grammy and Grumpa (pictured here). Grammy has a broken arm unfortunately so we had to limit our play a little bit but we still had fun. The weather was kind of rainy most of the trip, but we managed to get out some!
One of the best places to see color is at "Max Patch". There's a huge field on the top of a mountain surrounded by trees. Maggie could just roam around - she loved it!
My dad took Ben on a wonderful hike up to the top of a Lynn Lowry, a mountain named after a teenage girl who died from leukemia. She loved these mountains so much that her parents bought the top of the mountain, erected a huge cross and put lights on it. At night you can see this cross for miles up in the sky! It's a difficult hike to make it to the top of this mountain but Dad and Ben had fun hiking it. (that's Ben at the bottom of that picture . . . see? Huge cross. . . )
Our last day in NC it really cleared up and got beautiful so we spent some time just relaxing in the yard - it was fun to let Maggie run around and explore.
We ended our vacation by going through Opelika to see Ben's family. Ben was fortunate enough to get tickets to Saturday's game from a friend (War Eagle!) but for Maggie's first introduction to Auburn, we decided to take it easy. So we took her to campus early in the day and just walked around.
The End! :-)
