Field Trip to the Mountains

We decided to take a day trip to the mountains.  Our children had never been to Grandfather Moutain. 

We packed a picnic lunch.  What fun we had.  We enjoyed many laughs up the mountain.

 Up the mountain to the bridge - across we go

The boys in the middle.  Jeff was not thrilled to stop and take a picture.

amazing how the temperature changed at the top

There is a peace about the mountains.  I realize how amazing God is.  These are the things he created for us to enjoy.  We feel so small in the middle of the mountains.

After finishing the mountain, we could only head about 30 minutes over to Boone- 

Home of Appalachian State University.

I feels like just yesterday that Jeff and I were in school together.  After visiting the campus, I realize how many years it has been since we have been in school.  The campus is amazing.  It is fun to drive around campus and show our children a piece of what started this family.  Many memories were started right on this campus. 

It would be amazing if one of our children decided to go to ASU. 

We had a fun day in the mountains together as a family.
