On Friday we went to Peaks of Otter off of the Blue Ridge Pkwy. We were worried about rain in the forecast, but we only had one bad storm Friday night and some showers while we slept. The rest of the weather was cool and beautiful! Here's Sharp Top Mt. I really wanted to climb it, but we'll have to do it next time. We're working our way back into hiking, but we'll have to do it slowly. Sadie's legs and Buxton's old body just can't handle strenous hikes. We did do a little hike down Falling Cascades which was gorgeous! I could have stayed there all day.
The next day we took a hike around Abbots Lake which was beautiful! We found a meadow overlooking Sharp Top and laid in the grass while the kids played. Again...I could have stayed there all day.
Back at camp, the girls thought it was really funny that they were having weiners on sticks for dinner :0). 
Elise was again in heaven. She found lots of trees and rocks to climb, but this one at our camp site was her favorite. In this pictures, she's about 10 feet off the ground!!!
Just munchin' on some old fashioned rock candy from the country store.
Here's Sadie helping Daddy collect firewood.
Dying to get wet in the waterfall! Come on mom! There's only a 25 foot drop off the edge!!!

that looks like a lot of fun! I'm not brave enough to do that...yet. We thought about camping in our yard the other night, but then remembered our nice comfy beds. You're pictures are great, too!
