Kanuga Part 3

We returned to North Carolina for the second summer in a row to go to Kanuga. We were so excited to find that we were able to stay in a two-bedroom cottage this year...and we loved it! It was built in 1909. We felt like we were in a bird's nest because it was high up in the trees, and it was set back in the woods so it stayed cool all day long. Here is a picture of Quinn and Tyndale in front of our cottage.




Our cottage had an antique clawfoot tub that the kids had many fun baths in after hikes or evenings in the lake.

Here is a picture of Sliding Rock. We visited and watched the people sliding, but it seemed to be an activity for when the children get a bit older. And Brad and I also need some time in order to get our redneck outfits put together...I'm thinking a bikini top and cutoff jeans..... (would fit in just fine here!)

Here is Quinn at the Looking Glass Falls in Pisgah. You might also notice her lightning bug necklace...a real gem that we found. We filled it up with lightning bugs each night and they were her nightlight. Then they were released in the morning, of course!

Kanuga Part 2

Here are Quinn and Tyndale at a place called Poppies in Brevard. It has a delicious cafe, a whole-foods type grocery store, a garden center, and the entire second floor is stocked with natural products (lotions, sunscreens, shampoos, vitamins, supplements, etc....I was in heaven!)



Here we are on a hike in the Pisgah area.

















This picture is for Aunt Lindy...I wanted her to know that we studied about constructed wetlands on our vacation!



This is a picture of us feeding the hatchling trout at the Wildlife Center. Here they breed trout to restock the streams in NC. There were so many in there that you can see their fins sticking out of the water!

Kate, Madeline, and Quinn had a ball at the street dance.

One of the rainy mornings...it has been so long since we have had rain in Mississippi, we enjoyed this!

Quinn near one of the beautiful waterfalls. I think she wanted to go swimming near this one...yeah, right!

Brad and Tyndale ready to hike near our precious cottage...we LOVED it!

My Fourth of July cuties! We celebrated at Kanuga with a wine and cheese and fireworks over the lake.
