Blueberries and Boone

running off and playing

Nothing like an afternoon nap
outside in Boone, I miss those days....

We had a nice weekend in Boone and enjoyed the cooler weather they have up there!  Its blueberry season (usually runs July 4th-labor day), so we picked a bunch of berries.  Usually the kids pick a lot but this year they picked a few and then ran off to play with their cousins-I'll have to train them better next year, nothing like kid labor!

Cuddle time with Grandma

We also went to Howards Knob, which is about 1,000 feet above Boone so you get a great view of Appalachian's campus and the town.  The kids had fun climbing on the rocks and exploring.  I had Amanda in the sling and was just glad we all made it out of there alive!!

See why I was happy we all survived,
Lauren is becoming pretty adventurous

me-"please sit still and take one
picture with Mommy," is that too much to ask???

Jackson's legs were tired so he decided
to try using his hands
