Roaring Gap Weekend

For some reason, pregnancy and blogging do not go well together for me.  I cannot get my act together to blog while pregnant, but I don't want to forget all the fun memories we are making right now either.

So, in an effort to catch up, I bring you a post from over 2 months ago. 

In mid-November, mom drove over from Bham and we all hit the road to meet up with Christian, Linsey, and the triplets.  We went back to Roaring Gap, NC.  Same place we met up last February when we got snowed in.  This is a place John grew up going with his family.  It also just happens to be exactly half way from Atlanta and Virginia (where C and L live).  

It is perfect spot to meet up and getaway!   

The weekend was quite busy with five mobile little ones all over the place.

It was still a great fall weekend and the weather was just right so we could be outside and play too.  


One of John's cousins has a farm down the road.  She had us over one afternoon to let the kids feed the animals.  All was going great until the carrot in C's hand dropped to the ground.  The donkey didn't know it and took a bite/nibble of her little finger.  It was bit frightening to look down and see your child's finger stuck in a donkey's mouth.  Thankfully it wasn't too bad.  John pulled it out quickly and after some bandaids, tears and candy,  she was good to go.  

It is actually a hilarious story now and Caroline is not scarred at all.  She loves to tell the story of "Apple Butter," the donkey who bit her finger. 

Thank God for tetanus shots too!   


Caroline was too busy playing and not in the mood for pictures.

The kids all love playing together!


We couldn't do these trips without Mimi!


We hope Matt and Natalie will be able to join us next fall!
