Vacation in the Mountains

My sweet parents have a time share at the Alpine Village in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina (just outside of Burnsville and near Ashville). This year they could not use their first week so they offered it to us. They have a 2 bedroom unit so we were also able to bring our friends, The Colyers! Here are some of the highlights..

Chad was really looking forward to reading his Bible outside on the balcony looking over the mountains.

Georgia had fun bouncing with Anna Colyer while the adults played Settlers of Catan. After playing Jeff and Brittney's favorite game we were sold. If we go ahead and buy it are there any of you all out there who like to play games? (Check out the Colyers' blog for a video of the girls)

There are some neat shops and this nice courtyard in downtown Burnsville so we stopped to let the kids play a bit.





This is the bed all 4 of us piled into. Georgia is just a bit too big for the pack and play so we didn't even bother bringing it and Noah won't sleep the whole night in the bassinet so all four of us (plus Ruby Buttons, Cookie monster, the monkey and blankets Georgia brings with her) all slept in this bed.


Here is my sweet boy in his Spiderman outfit.....my superhero.



This was another break from little shops; this time in Little Switzerland. We have been here several times but this year was a bit different now that Georgia is 2!


The best family photo we could pull off at the orchard.



All 7 of us at the Orchard at Altapass





Georgia loved this toy of Anna's. She thought they were bracelets. And Jeff and Brittney brought Georgia some Sesame Street Stickers for her birthday and she loved sticking them all over herself!

We're Settlers fans, too! We'd love to play sometime and if you should need to borrow a copy before you get one, you know where we live! Maren
