Hiking at Red Top Mtn

Today the Teresi family took us hiking. Beautiful lake, trees, fall colors and brisk air. A great day and a great place to hike.

1st Thanksgiving

Luke celebrated his 1st Thanksgiving in Georgia...and he had 2 special bibs that were given as gifts to commemorate the occasion.

Georgia

We made it to Georgia and we are having a blast with our friends the Teresi family (who were gracious to host two families of six for Thanksgiving!) and the Ostendorf family.



Enjoying pizza with friends.


Catan!


Smiles and chatter with Kelly.


We did a Crossfit work out with Kelly on Thanksgiving- tough!


Aaron took the lead on the turkey and it turned out great!



1st Thanksgiving!


Happy Turkey Day!

Main St Bakery in Georgia

Delicious! Yummy soups, breads, sandwiches...and we got a pie to go! Next stop, the Teresi family home in Georgia!

River Dance

Our next stop was the River Dance B&B in North Carolina in the Great smoky mountains. The house was beautiful and perched high above a river...gorgeous scenery!

Nashville and Gaylord Opryland Hotel

We made it to Nashville and made a last minute decision to stay at the Opryland Hotel and we are so glad we did- that place is amazing! It was decorated for Christmas and we were able to experience the ice sculptor exhibits.

On the road...

Our next stop was Nashville and on our drives we stopped at some great restaurants... Stanley's famous BBQ in Tyler, TX, The English Muffin in Hot Springs, AK and Gus's Chicken in Memphis. Yummy! Thanks to Yelp for the yummy local finds!






All four kiddos were napping at one point during our drive...blissful silence!

Lake Catherine

We headed out on a Thanksgiving Road trip last weekend. Our first stop was a lovely cabin in Hot Springs, Arkansas near Lake Catherine.

Leia likes Broccoli!

Had to get a video of this for Bob Bob and Glo Glo....my daughter likes broccoli and requests it at restaurants! She thinks it is a treat!

Luke is 3 months old!

This is one day late, but sweet Luke is 3 months old already! He loves to chew on his fingers, he likes his Sophie Giraffe toy and he still prefers to sleep wrapped in his miracle blanket in his swing. Our whole family loves to hear him "talking" and see his smiles.
