Asheville: Part 1

The girls and I went to Asheville for a few days last week, August 3rd-6th, meeting up with Andrea, Ashling, Cade and Quinn.  We stayed with Keith, Rebecca, Caroline and Katya, an exchange student from Germany.  Talk about a full house!

Here are pictures from the first part of our adventure, Sunday and Monday, which includes an evening playing at lake (pizza for dinner), s'mores, picking blueberries and more playground action.

Lilly got carsick soon after we stopped for lunch (we left after worship Sunday morning).  She threw up 4 times.  Not fun.  (It was traumatic.  I am still recovering.)  Other than that we had a good travel experience.


Cade!

I got a kick out of Quinn's sliding method






S'mores at the fire pit

A good group shot was not in the cards

Ellen called this one "big blue"

Happy to be in Aunt Andrea's van (she loved riding with Aunt Andrea!)


Lilly and I went exploring after her nap



We wandered down (literally down a mountain) to a small play area in Rebecca's neighborhood









Andrea took us to Mamacitas in downtown Asheville for dinner.  It was delicious!

Williamson County Fair 2014

We went to the fair Thursday night.  Phillip, Ellen and I took advantage of the "Back to School Special" and got free admission for wearing school spirit attire.  Unfortunately the rides shut down within 30 minutes of our arrival due to lightning.  We only used 8 tickets!  We were disappointed but still managed to have a little fun.















Maybe next year, ferris wheel.
