Vacation to Black Mountain, NC


We had such a great time. We hiked everytime we got a chance to. Paige and Izzy did great. Izzy spent most of it in the backpack on Mike's back but she hung in well. Paige on the other hand hiked everything that we did. She was awesome. The first day we did a small hike of about 2.5 miles, second day we spent at the Biltmore walking around beautiful place, then a big hike of over 4 miles and a few small hike that I can't remember how long they were. The whole time Paige was right there beside us, complaining a little but she muscled through it. We are so proud

of her!!! In between we had some bad weather so we checking out Asheville and the small town of Black Mountain. The day in Blk Mtn was great the people were super nice and the town was very welcoming, we really liked it. I almost forgot to mention Zeke, he was in heaven I think. He loved being out in the woods off his leash exploring and splashing in any body of water that he could find. The trip was wonderful and we would mind going back again some day.

Field Trip, Grandparents' visit and present for Paige

Paige's class took a field trip to the Equine Country to learn about horses. Grammie Bonnie, Grandpa Ron, Izzy and myself join Paige and her class for this fun trip.
Here's Izzy getting as up and close to any of the horses that they had. She mostly like walking around in the rain.
Paige was able to brush and help clean the horses hoffs.


At the end of all the demonstration they were able to ride a horse if they wanted, Paige wanted! She absolutely loved it. They only thing that bummed her out was that she couldn't wear the pink helmet.

Picture with the grandparents that Izzy wasn't really into. She was ready for bed not for picture time.




This is Paige on her ride with the horse.This what Grammie Bonnie and Grandpa Ron got her for her birthday. We put it in her room and she loves playing it. It came with a little song book that she has been learning to play. She gets better and better, she is loves it.
