The Blue Ridge Mountains

Rachel and Derrik are visting family along the Blue Ridge Mountains. Of course, we piled in the van and drove and drove so we could spend time with them too!

We had a great time making oragami frogs, playing checkers, listening to Derrik's concert on the piano (all Brooklynn talks about), bird watching, and chatting.Here is a shot of Rachel with the Happiness and Sunshine. We are grateful to her in-laws who let us stay the night in their house (even though there was a temporary lack of water due to a low water level in the well). They were very gracious.


A big bonus for the kids was attending a new ward, having the primary sing them a hello song, and then when church was over they were given a brand new tub of Lincoln Logs. Jeffrey is already planning our next trip!

Here are some photos off of flickr of the scenery.
