We were fortunate to go to our family's cabin two different times this summer. I went up for a few days with the kids and my parents in June and then we all went up for the fourth of July. In June, we took Lincoln to Tweetsie Railroad in Boone, NC. Thomas the Train visits there every year. My parents had plans to take Lincoln there last summer but getting pregnant with the twins, moving, etc messed that up. I had not been to Tweetsie in over twenty years and I am pretty sure not much as changed! They added a Thomas car to the front of their train and had some additional Thomas locations where kids could color, purchase Thomas merchandise, and collect stamps for a prize. We ended up having a good time. Sawyer and Ainsley did great and there was more to do than we thought.
We met up with most of my extended family at the cabin for the weekend of the fourth of July. The family went hiking at Grayson Highlands, illegally fed wild ponies, and climbed some rocks. Brad, Lincoln, and I also went on another hike to a waterfall. Already posted some pics from a previous blog post but here are some more.
Sawyer, who we are learning is a big fan of food, quite enjoyed the southern delicacy known as grits.
My cousin's daughter Mackenzie is six weeks older than Lincoln and those two are the best of friends every time they get together. Lincoln formally asked Kenzie to my cousin Ali's wedding in October.
