ANYONE NEED THE BEST TRIP OF YOUR LIFE PLANNED?
Let me know! My Dad plans AMAZING trips (Europe, US, Peru - you name it!) and wants to plan a trip for others. You pay only for the cost of the trip (flight, hotels, etc.) - you don't have to pay my Dad anything. All he asks is that you give him feedback at the end.
Blog of his last trip http://www.travelblog.org/Bloggers/Zpet.../Trips/10176
I can have him send you a CD of other trips he's planned, to get a feel for what he can plan for YOU. You tell him how much you want to spend, what area you want to visit, and he'll do the rest! Relieves all the stress out of planning a vacation! |

Gone are the days where I can put something on the edge of the kitchen table without worrying my little Ryan will get it - he's 13 months now.
Gone are the days when I can enjoy a special drink, candy, or sweet without having to share with anyone else. Sometimes I can hide it or convince Justin that it's just mine, but there's no reasoning with a 1 year old. He now wants everything I'm eating and drinking.
Gone are the days where Justin can get away with being rough with Ryan, and Ryan take it lying down (so to speak). Yesterday, Ryan got my cleaning broom, came over to Justin and started whacking him on the head with it. He thought it was hilarious (To be honest, so did I).
We'll have to be buying 2 kid's meals here soon because Ryan eats so much, but I look forward to what lies ahead with the kids getting older. |

| Second Snow in Greenville Winter 2010/2011 |
|
Today's storm is the second snow storm we've had this winter. First Christmas day, which we were not here for, but when we came back we still got to enjoy the snow for a day.
This second storm started around 4am this morning (yes Jeremy & I were up to watch it start) and has been snowing pretty constantly since then. I couldn't tell you how many inches we have so far, but it's a good bit! Nice and powdery, but a little wet too. We haven't been able to sled down the hill in front of our house yet, but have enjoyed playing in it. We'll update later with more pics as the weather progresses.
I love living in Greenville, SC!!!

| Ryan Fitting in Small Places |
|
Ryan and Justin's newest thing is to climb under the cabinets and just hide there for a while. Well, the other day I caught Ryan hiding in our Lazy Susan Cabinet in the middle of two shelves. Don't know how he fit in there on top of the skillets, but I know he couldn't get himself back out.
FYI - the dark stuff on Ryan's leg is "hot" chocolate which he pulled off the table and attempted to drink it from a big mug. You can imagine how that went.

| Justin is 4 and Ryan is 1 Pictures |
|
Justin turned 4 in October and Ryan just turned 1 in December. We tried to get pictures of the boys before Christmas, but both of them were crying and refused to sit down. So, we tried again this morning and it turned out great. Another blog coming soon about Christmas events and Ryan's first birthday.
Be sure to view the pictures full screen for optimum quality (in upper right hand corner).

| Peanuts - The Great Pumpkin Patch Express |
|
After leaving the campground, we took a ride on the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad. They had a special event because it was October called "Peanuts - The Great Pumpkin Patch Express".
We took a 30 minute ride to the "Pumpkin Patch" where they had all kinds of things for the kids including roasting marshmellows, hayride, trick or treating, bobbing for apples, pick your own pumpkin, bounce houses, and coloring and tatoo station.
The bobbing for apples was interesting because at no time did the kid touch the water, instead, it was a PVC pipe they raised and lowered to try to catch an apple with. The trick or treating was also cool. You walk into a big tent and there are four cutouts of a house (picket fence and door) that the kid is supposed to walk up to, knock on the door, and say trick or treat for some candy.
I really thought Justin would enjoy the bounce houses and slides, but when we first arrived at the pumpkin patch he didn't really want to do anything. The first thing he saw he wanted to do was...get this...play Checkers. Checkers! He later warmed up and we couldn't get him away from the activities. We had a great time on the train and at the pumpkin patch!

| Camping in Bryson City, NC |
|
This past weekend the four of us went camping in Bryson City, NC at Kirkland Creek Campground for two days. We chose to stay in a small cabin this time instead of a tent. The cabin was nice and cozy and situated just a few feet from a stocked Trout Pond. It had a Full bed, sofa bed and small loft with a single twin bed.
We sat around some and enjoyed exploring the campground. Justin swung on the swings, played Horseshoes and we fed the trout (multiple times!) but didn't go fishing this time. Saturday night the owner and the regulars put out a great spread for us including hamburgers, hot dogs, peach cobbler and many other items. We sat around enjoying all the other camper's company and after dinner all the kids made Smores. Gunny (owner & guy in yellow shirt in pictures) gave all the kids a ride on his Backhoe; he even let Justin drive it one time.
Then, on our way out of town Sunday, we went to the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad for the Peanuts (Charlie Brown & Snoopy) Pumpkin Patch Express train ride. More about that in my next blog...
Pictures from Camping only (Train pics soon).
