Spring Break!

 Drew had his spring break last week, so we took a little trip to North Carolina to meet up with our friends the Gardner's. They live in Orlando, so we met up in the Great Smokey Mountains.

Our first bathroom break happened to be in Metropolis, home of Superman. They are very proud, and have these everywhere:)

The cabin was basically straight up a mountain. I mean straight up! Very steep roads to the top, but the view was worth it.

They have a little boy named James, who Melanie loved. They got along great. We walked around Lake Junaluska.

Don't mind the finger.

We loved The Great Smokey Mountains National Park. It is gorgeous!

 

We had a couple game nights after the kids went to bed. Yes, we went a little crazy with the desserts, orange julius creations, and board games.We are wild:) Meghan and I got a little slap happy. 

I just love this picture of Lacey watching a show.

After we left North Carolina we headed to Nashville to see our friends John and Marcy. We got to check out their place, go to a hip restaurant, get some hip popsicles, and check out downtown.

The next day we went and hung out at the Parthenon. It was pretty sweet. Nashville is a very cool city.

The only good thing about Waffle House is this coloring table. Yuck!

The next day after we got home Adam and his girls came to visit for the weekend (Laura flew to Utah for her brother's wedding, but we did see her Sunday morning:) So many girls! There are six girls, ages four and under.

We went to Purina Farms Easter extravaganza. They had so many fun things there. The best part was the dog show! Loved it!

We packed so many things in. We went to the zoo, the arch, Creve Couer Lake, Lone Elk Park, and played outside in between.

Easter Egg dying.

We got to eat lunch near some bison. It was a blast until I realized later I got two ticks! Melanie got one too, and another one since. I don't know about this tick season.

We went on walks and played at parks. Of course Drew and Adam had to race.

We had a fun night on our walk, stopping and feeding the geese and fish.

Easter morning was fun. The weather was great, and we had a big breakfast and a hunt outside.
