Just some photos

Hiking...

We have always said that we needed to come to Conway for a few more days so we could hike some of the trails we pass on the way here. We finished Story Land yesterday so today was the day to do a hike. I noticed we passed Ripley Falls on the way over about 20 minutes back on 302 and checked it out on the web and map. It is only about 0.6 miles off the road so no problem, right? Turns out is also part of the Appalachian Trail, so we killed two birds with one stone. Grandma was toughing it out and we finally made it, and it was worth it, wows all around when you get there. You can see in the family photo that Max is conspicuously absent because he was already on his way up to the top of the 100' falls. You can see him at the top in two of the photos. Of course if he made it I had to go too, the view from the top was really cool (and slippery, use extreme caution!!!). We passed another Grandma going up on our way down, she was not doing as well as our Grandma!!! Photos can be seen on the web album in more detail:

Story Land 2010

Another great day at Story Land! We did an afternoon and the next day, we were all pretty wiped out by the end but had wonderful weather. The young ones had their faces painted (Ollie was great!), Ted really liked driving the cars and Lilly always loves everything. The only thing that made it a little short of perfect is Sannie's absence :^( Check out the great photos!!!

Sannie's off to Guatemala

San finally made it to Guatemala after a weeks delay. So lets hope for no more volcano eruptions, tropical storms or sink holes! She will be there for 9 weeks working for the Guatemala Government in international adoptions. Her apartment sounds nice I will post pictures when I get some and she sounds excited to start work on Monday. Here are some family pictures we took right before we she left. And I've added one of my "special" sleeping pictures. Sannie is going to scream when she sees this. She checked the camera to make sure I had NO sleeping picture of her when she feel asleep in the car when she got home from Spain. Little did she know it was on my phone camera! HAHAHAHA got you San.
