Welcome Visitors

Last weekend Bernie, Beth and Grandma Neubauer made the long and beautiful drive to NC. We stopped to take this picture while frisbee golfing at Idlewild Park near our house.

The Wrezinski's stayed downtown for the weekend while we got to hang out with Grandma. Saturday we went to a fall festival at Lazy 5 Ranch.

The best part was the safari you drive through in your car. The only rules were #1 don't get out of your car.

#2 Don't feed the zebra. And #3 don't run over the animals.

Within the first few minutes of the safari, an animal knocked Grandma's food bucket out of her hands and she GETS OUT OF THE CAR. She got out, not for her food bucket, but to get her glasses that were knocked off by an animal.

The kids freaked out from the large animal heads peeking into our car. They all jumped into the back seat where they stayed most of the drive.

It was hilarious and we all had a great time!

If you come to visit us we'll be taking you here.

On the last day of their visit we went to the town of Chimney Rock. Wow! A beach on Lake Lure with mountain views in the background. There's also a cute downtown where we ate lunch with views and a creek.

Jackson's described what he hopes heaven will be like...this is it. Heaven = Quiet + Nature + Pencil.

Here's Bernie and Aaron exploring the creek behind the restaurant.

This is at Chimney Rock State Park on our way up to the top. I got to take the elevator with Benny.

Everyone else wanted to walk up 26 flights of stairs.

Our honorary guests Uncle Bernie and Aunt Beth at the top.

We hiked up even higher to get this view.

We will be back to this place. It's gorgeous! And we didn't even get to go to the waterfall.

P.S. Happy 35th Birthday to me today!
