   Our weekend away was great! So many wonderful things to see and do up state if you appreciate the mountains and what nature has to offer! Dad found it relaxing to just hang out inside standing and reading his iPad . I found a little bit of time to scrapbook while the girls were playing. Ashley and Brittany played with Caitlin for hours at a time. Whatever she wanted to play the girls were right there doing it with her. Our neighbors Phill and Jenn and their children Madeline and Ben come up twice a year. Madeline brought a friend from Atlanta named Izzy. They all hung out and were so darn polite whenever I offered them something to eat, I just couldn't stand it. That Southern politeness I wish it would rub off on my kids!  Aidan was in his glory with Ben who is a year younger. They all drove on the golf cart even though it was like 30 degrees and windy. Sunday some of the neighbors went hiking up Plattsvilles Rock. The men cut down trees by the dam and had a bonfire to burn the wood. Something about a fire always attracts the boys. Sean was happy to just sit on the coach and watch TV with Grandpa Bruce. Sean was with Grandpa Bruce every chance he could. Sean and Bruce drove the cart together which became the highlight of the weekend for Sean. My favorite moment was looking out the slider to see two Bald Eagles flying over the lake to their nest on the opposite side of the cabin. They are so beautiful, it's too bad I didn't have my camera ready!
