We had a wonderful time of being with Granddad Bill and Grandma Brenda and their friends, Buck and Darlene. Buck had brought a couple of four-wheelers for us to ride. Despite the cold weather, we were all able to enjoy some beautiful trips through the colorful woods and fields. Last summer we had fished and swam, this fall, we spent our time indoors or hiking. It was warmer in the woods than near the lake and everyone was well-dressed for adventure.
On the way home we finally stopped on the Parkway at Lover's Leap. We had driven by many times, but had intentionally pulled over this time. The view was breath-taking! If only we could have made a family photo there.
In Danville, we spent a couple of hours looking at tanks in the museum there. The boys and Bob loved it!
We're already hoping for another trip to the mountains in April!
Mabry Mill (a favorite on the Blue Ridge parkway) was lovely as we passed by on our way to the cabin. It made this snapshot from the road look like a postcard!
Noah and I went with all the girls on a hike to the pasture. It was the first of many for the older ones.
This is called Buffalo Mountain, named for it's appearance.
Bob and I snuggled with our littlest ones on a couple of chilly rides. When we started to ride we moved Noah between me and Bob where it was most warm. Poor Bob took all the 40 degree wind!
We found these edibles: snowberries. They taste like wintergreen, or the old Clark's Teaberry Gum.
This is the whole crew. Mom and Bill, Buck and Darlene, their daughter, granddaughter and son in law, and our family.
