Labor Day in the Mountains

The wonderful Molskness family invited us to go on a trip with them to Boone, NC. "I don't have to plan anything? We're there!"

Here's the rustic cabin where we stayed. It fit us all perfectly and had so much character. Great find Kristie!

We took turns making dinner so I only had to cook ONE night! Such a great idea. We had a bonfire both nights. Josh is having a little too much fun making the fire.

With smores of course.

The big girls. Our children love each other so much and get along together perfectly. What great memories for them!

The boys playing chess after waking up in the morning.

Bruce planned some awesome hikes. The 1st day it was to a waterfall and swimming hole.

Our crew! I love that these guys only live a mile away and we go to church together too.

Jackson jumping into one of the deeper swimming holes.

And of course Benny was the 1st to try it.

The boys found tons of rocks to slide down. A few of the kids even had holes in their shorts afterwards.

Addy found a peaceful spot to rest. What a unique place!

On our last day we hiked to a summit. Another great pick by Bruce. So proud all our children made it to the top without complaining.

Thanks Bruce and Kristie! We should make this a yearly tradition.
