Our Vacation Adventures - Part 3

We did so many fun things on our vacation!

Our first day was out on the boat tubing, swimming and picnicking on an island. Javin and Cody loved to be out on the tube. Kailyn enjoyed her turn as well. The weather was warm so Kailyn went swimming in the lake too. Their dog, Milo, went for a dip in the water too!

One day we went on a small hike to Little Wilson Falls, which turned out to be 3 miles round trip. It was a tough one for Kailyn. There were a lot of tree roots that made for some challenging footwork.




The hike was along the Appalachian Trail to a water fall.



Javin couldn't wait to go out on the kayak. Uncle Darin taught him how to row and steer it.




Another day was spent at the River Festival watching the parade, playing the kiddie games, and face painting. Pampaw bought a $2 ticket for the rubber ducky race. Weren't we surprised when we got a call later that day his duck won the race!


Javin and Kailyn loved to play with Milo and Sadie, the dogs. Sadie licked and licked us. Oreo, the cat, was in hiding most of the time.

The boys had a competitive game of Foosball going on in the basement among all the other games we played. Just for the record, I beat one round of Speed Scrabble against Darin, but alas he beat 2 rounds to come out on top in the end.


One night the kids were playing on the playground at school and we all got on the slide and Cody held us all up. It was hilarious!

It was such an enjoyable time to get away and reconnect with family. We hated to go home. Javin has big plans to go back next month. After an 18 hour trip home, I doubt that will be happening so soon.
