Sliding Rock in NC

The one thing my sister Britt Britt wanted to do on our trip to TN was to go to this place called Sliding Rock. It's basically a 60 water slide that happens to be a rock/waterfall. This place was BEAUTIFUL!!! We had so much fun sliding down this, the only problem was that the water was F R E E Z I N G !!! I'm talking it felt like needles all over your skin freezing. We got used to it though after several times of sliding down.



The kids didn't get to go in because the current would have been alittle too strong for them, but they had SO much FUN watching Aunt Britt Britt and I go down.

If you are ever in the Pisgah forest area of NC then I HIGHLY encourage you to check out Sliding Rock!

Creek Play in TN

We had so much FUN exploring a creek while in TN!!



Aidman and Aunt Britt Britt loved the big rocks!

Gran Gran and Lyssy tried to keep their feet out of the freezing water.



Mommy thought the creek was so peaceful and relaxing!

Aidman had a great time crawling on this big fallen tree trunk.


"OH YEAH"

They decided to build a rock house.



It turned out very nice!

Beautiful Mountains of TN

Just had to share these breathtaking views of the TN mountains!



This is why they are called the Smokey Mountains.

Pick Pick Picking in TN

We love running around the hills in TN at our Gran Gran and Pa's house.

While there this past week we picked tons of fruits and veggies.

watermelon gords
blackberries

apples
purple and green globe grapes

pears (that weren't quite ripe)

blueberries (we went to a blueberry farm for this as some animals ate our grandparents blueberry bush all the way to the ground).

We also picked corn and TONS of grape tomatoes.

We are HERE!!!

We are HERE!!! We got to TN yesterday afternoon. The kids LOVE airplanes and we had such a fun time flying. We are here to help my grandparents since Pa just had knee reconstruction surgery. He is doing well and getting around better than I would have thought, but he is in alot of pain and can't sleep at all. Granny is good too, but she is very tired from taking care of Pa.

Other than the fact that there isn't much to do here, I LOVE this area. The view is breathtaking!!! These pictures are all taken from the back patio.

The kids LOVE it here because there is five acres for them to run around on AND they get SO much attention!! Granny and Pa are constantly talking and playing with them. That leaves mama alot of time to cook and get things done without the kiddos being at my feet.

Of course we are getting lots of learning time in too. Granny just thinks it's so great all the things that we do together, and I can't help but to feel proud (that's what Granny's are for though, making you feel good about yourself and what you do).
