We'll Be Coming Around the Mountain

Heather, Connor, Shaw and I went to the mountains this past weekend. Ma-Ma has a house up there. She was already there and my mom came up too. Heather and I spent a lot of time up there as kids, but this is the first time Connor and Shaw have been. They met indians, threw walnuts in the river, went to a pumpkin patch, pet goats, and took a ride over a mountain and back without getting carsick. Overall it was a great trip, just a day or two too short!


We stopped at a McDonald's about an hour and a half outside of Charleston and ran into two of our cousins, Brittany and Trey, and their mom, Kim. What a small world!! Really - Kim lives close to that exit, but Trey lives in Charleston and Brittany in Beaufort. So what are the odds that we'd all happen to meet at this McDonald's off the interstate. It was great to see them, if only for a few minutes!
















When we arrived 7 hours later (on what should have taken us about 5 hours), Connor was fast asleep.





















We went into Cherokee Saturday morning and watched some indians dance, then had our pictures made with them.
















Connor and Shaw got their very own indian hats. And every indian needs a horse! Thanks, G-ma!































Later that night, we went to a pumpkin patch down the street where Shaw hung out with Snoopy while Connor hung out with the goats. Snoopy was much cleaner, but Connor would not let me get within 15 feet of him!














































I think this goat's name was James.
