Last Wednesday evening Steph, Nora, Aaron, and I left for North Carolina to visit Sarah and Winnie. We spent the night in Tennessee - the kids love hotel swimming, breakfast, and more swimming. And, it breaks up the trip nicely.
New for the kids was diving in from the side of the pool (Nora) and swimming backstroke across the pool (Aaron.) I asked them how they learned these things and they told me that they learned from watching the Olympics.
Bridget drove separately and Helen met us for a night. Camping group, with comfort.
There was shoe shopping since there is a favorite shoe store in Asheville and it was back-to-school tax-free weekend. Hiking and swimming and eating.
Aaron has a wide little foot and resists most shoes, but he ended up with a pair of Merrill's with the stretchy gussett and a pair of John Deere boots. Both got in quite a lot of steps during the weekend, so things are good in that area.
These pictures were taken at the Cradle of Forestry. More pictures from there tomorrow - it was Smokey the Bear's birthday, and there was a party.
Thanks to Winnie and Sarah for a great, great weekend.
