We made the beautiful drive down 81 to get to my family's house in VA - even through light snow showers! The day after we made it to my parents' we went exploring on Mill Mountain. They have a great Discovery Center there that Graham was even interested in, a new little park, and the Star! They also have a zoo, but we didn't go there that day :o)
Here is Graham rock climbing up with Grandaddy to the top of the slide!
Walking to see the star with Gramma!
A great view of the city and valley from the overlook in front of the star...
My Aunt Jenny came to visit one night for dinner - it was a treat to see her again!
Some dear friends from seminary came to see us while we were in town too. Danielle and Brian now live in Blacksburg (only 30 min away) so the Creasons drove up from Charlotte to stay with them for the night and they all came over for lunch on Saturday. It was so special that they would take the time to make the trip up and we appreciated my parents' hospitality to have us all there!
Another treat was the snow... Graham loves snow.
We were also able to see some good friends that I grew up with while we were in VA... I was excited that they were able to get together on such last minute notice! This is Lisa, her husband Aaron, and their little girl Vivian! They have another baby on the way in August :o)
Kisses from Miss Vivian
The three of us - me, Carissa, and Lisa - and the babes :o)
Carissa love
Graham loves his Grandaddy and learned a new trick from him that he is still playing... "Bore a hole, bore a hole..."
Riding the horse!
And he loves reading with Gramma :o)
Cheese!
And we can't forget Izzi... Izzi was extremely patient with Graham, especially when he wanted to ride her like a horse!
