Our family enjoyed a trip to the NC mountains where we had a chance to RELAX! It was great.
Eric enjoyed doing some fly fishing & caught 3 trout. The camera batteries died on his 2nd excursion, so... didn't get a picture of the big one!
Picnic on Mount Mitchell: After a long morning hike, we found the perfect sunny spot to picnic. Our girls LOVE picnics & this table was secluded, on the edge of the mountain & surrounded by some great climbing rocks. What a great way to relax & soak in the beauty of nature.
The kids enjoy picking apples in the orchard at Altapass each fall. The crop was down 60% this year, so there wasn't a large variety to pick from like last year. But, we enjoyed the mountain air while we picked & ate apples. 
Marshmallow roast: I can't think of a better way to relax than to roast marshmallows & sip hot chocolate. Good times!
Game night: Another great way to relax... playing games as a family. Our current faves are Rummikub & UNO. Here, the girls are playing Bratz checkers. We also enjoy BINGO & Dominoes... classics at their best!
