4th of "July"

We weren't about to sit around in the rain with no family on the 4th of July when we knew our family was together in the sun BBQing. So, we headed to a cabin in North Carolina and enjoyed the rain, cool weather, mountains and just pretended it was the 4th of February. Our Alldredge friends came along and brought the party.

Our first stop was Ashville, NC, where we took our 4th of July photo. What is more American than a graffiti wall? (Luckily Lucas had a patriotic outfit, thanks to Heather, because my orange-redish shirt and Ty's white shirt was far from festive.)

We made it to the cabin just in time to discover that all firework shows, parades and festivities were cancelled due to rain.

Friday morning we headed to Grandfather Mountain to experience the hanging bridge of NC, but were turned off when it cost $20 per person. Instead we went to Boon, NC, as in Daniel Boon, to enjoy a free lookout, but were discouraged when the clouds rolled in and there was nothing to see. So we ate a delicious sandwich, took a family pic. at Appalachian campus and laughed when we returned to the cabin 9 hours later seeing nothing on our list.

He was a trooper all weekend, although you would never know by his new camera faces.

Happy 4th of February!!
