I mentioned before that at the end of April my Mom and Dad were here. We had such a great time with them. They were here for Jaynie's birthday and then the next day was Mom's birthday. It was so fun to be with Mom on her birthday. Her and I went and got pedicures while Grandpa watched the girls. It was so great. I wish I could have more days like that with my Mom. Then on Friday we were able to spend a day in the mountains after Grandma and Grandpa were able to see Jaynie's dress rehearsal for her school play. We went to one of mine and Whit's favorite little mountain towns Valle Crucis, North Carolina. It is such a beautiful place and they have a fun Mast General Store that is the original store from 1883. They sell everything from jams and jellies to home decor. They also sell just about every kind of candy you could want so the girls love it. We knew this would be a place Dad would love. All we needed to make it perfect was someone playing a banjo on the front porch (which we have had in past visits). From Valle Crucis we we got on the Blue Ridge parkway and went hiking into Linville Falls. It was a perfect little hike for the girls. It was a little over a mile so Jaynie and Lillie did great and Eliza did most of it, and insisted that mom carry her when she was done walking. Luckily it wasn't very far :). All day Jaynie just kept saying, "This is the best day of my life." I guess when you get a response like that from your children you know it was a good day. On Saturday Jaynie had a soccer game, so Grandma and Grandpa were able to cram in lots of fun Grandma and Grandpa activities into one short trip. It worked out pretty good. Mom and Dad left early Sunday morning. We were sure sad to see them go. But luckily we get to go to Idaho at the end of June so we will see them soon. Thanks Mom and Dad for a great visit. We love you.
Here are some pictures of our fun day in the mountains. These first few are of the beautiful scernery in Valle Crucis.
The rest of the pictures are of our hike. It really was a great day.

Looks like you had a great time with your folks. What a beautiful place to take the kids for a hike. I do miss the NC mountains but have found that life in the GA country is just as peaceful and beautiful. We miss you guys and hope to get up to see you sometime this year. Love ya...
You guys live is a beautiful place. Can't wait to see you all in June and may I say that Jaynie is quite the actor.
