We went to beautiful Boone /Blowing Rock ,NC this past weekend for my birthday..
I love being outdoors with my boys .. I let Colton play in the river for a long time..
He had so much fun..I enjoyed watching him and remembered how fun it was to be a kid... I wish we had a place like that for him to play .. He is all boy and loves the outdoors..

Waylon is getting there but he can't do as much as big brother..He splashed around a little in the river and once he fell right on his bottom.. And river mud stinks....EWW (his words)..
 |
| a little blurry ..but this is when he fell in the river... |

| boots came off / river fun |
We stayed up on the computer researching trails in the area while the boys were snuggled up sleeping. We were considering the grandfather mountain state park and it had wonderful reviews for adult hikers.. But for kids it said it had a lot of rock climbing. So we came across another trail that starts in Julian Price Park .. The same place as one of our favorites Hebron Rock Falls. It was a five mile trail and it said moderate (Boone fork trail)

| snuggles |
The reviews said it was a kid friendly trail Lot's of streams and cave's and waterfalls.. All of Colton's favorites..
He said thank-you for finding this awesome trail for me mommy and daddy.. He is an amazing kid .....

We hiked through a campsite and then we came to this opening ..It was beautiful..Wide open and you could see for miles ..Pictures did not do it justice but we still took a few.. We stopped there it was the 1.5 mile and ate some trail mix and had some drinks ....

We hiked all five miles and Colton only said he was tired once at the .5 mile ..I was proud of him ..

Later that night we went fishing at Bass Lake in Blowing Rock.. Colton had fun even though we didn't catch any fish...We are probably going fishing again this weekend and hope to catch some for him...

I really enjoyed my special weekend with my little family .. I was sad when we had to leave the cabin even though we are coming back in the Fall.. It seems so far away ...
