The Great Outdoors

We were invited by some dear friends and their parents to come to a weekend at the Mulberry Mountain Lodge. Five couples and their kiddos spent three days together, playing, eating and relaxing after the Christmas hullabaloo. Joe had a great time playing with all the other kiddos.



Here we are in the chow line. Chicken enchiladas made by yours truly.



A few of the "girls" reading and relaxing in their pj's.



Joe- the pied piper of all children- leading a game of Follow the Leader



Here is the beautiful waterfall found about 1 mile north of the property, just off Mountain Creek. Dan and some buddies made the trek to see it...twice.



Our little family going for a ride on a friend's "Rhino." It was Joe's first side-by-side experience.



This is Dan's photo of the view directly outside the lodge. I think he did a pretty good job for an amateur photographer!

We had such a good time together. I hope this will become a tradition for years to come.
