Family Day in the Blue Ridge Mtns.

We took the kids to the Blue Ridge Mountains a couple of weeks ago for a "family day". We love to go up there and get away. It's just about an hour north, but when you get up there it feels much further away. We got some mexican spiced hot chocolate, which is the best ever! Mom, it's ALMOST as good as your homemade recipe! :) We walked around the cute little shops and got lunch. It was a great day with the kids. They're really growing up and it's actaully FUN to go and do things like this with them. No diaper bags and chasing kids around. I think we're at a really great "stage" in life. Maybe it's the calm before the storm though!

I took these pictures from our back yard. I know everyone says we practically moved to TENNESEE, but I love it out here in Canton. It's just beautiful! You know what they say, "you can take the girl out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the girl".
