We took on the Summer just as school got out. We headed out of the deep south to land first in Charleston for a few days. We spent some time visiting the Desciak Crew in the low country. It is hard to believe that I have two nephews soon old enough to drive.
We then took the Carey adventure north to the Smoky Mountains where we met up with Gram and Coach for a week of wilderness.
Much to our enjoyment, we have two kids that share in our passion of hiking. Jordan always goes with the flow and is athletic enough to do most anything. Garrett however, is the one that actually asks when we are going hiking or camping next. The jury is still out with Ayden. She made it about 10 feet up the steep mountain driveway with her plastic "glass" slippers and Cinderella gown on and decided it would be much more fun to pick the daisies instead.
The cabin was rustic and out of cell phone range... it was so nice to "unplug" for a week. The kids got to see fireflies for the first time. It was so great to see them running around trying to catch them. These simple moments are the ones I want to bottle up.
So summer has officially been kicked off....
Let the Adventures begin....
