Last weekend we had so much fun in Boone. The kids played in the river a 
lot and enjoyed throwing rocks, climbing rocks, getting wet and just exploring. Each time we went they got as dirty and wet as possible. It's not that expected them not to but it was amazing at how quickly they got wet. Landon wasn't really excited about how cold the water was but it didn't seem to affect Ella or Eli. We also went on a little hike up near the cabin and walked until the path grew over. Right at that point there was a turtle in the middle of the path. 
Landon and Ella were excited to see their first "wild turtle". They said it was their first but they have seen others at but never this close. We let them hold it and then we set it back on the path and headed back.

We let them hold it and then we set it back on the path and headed back. On Saturday and Sunday we headed to Tweetsie Railroad. Saturday was just a taste but in the 2 hours we 
were there we made the most of it. We all road the steam engine together first. Eli was psyched about the "choo choo train" until we made our stop to see the Indians and the Cowboy show. There were lots of guns which scared Ella but Eli didn't get scared until they pulled out the big shotgun that was extremely loud. So we settled on just looking at the train on Sunday. With a very low crowd we were able to fit a lot of other rides in as well. Landon rode the tilt-a-whirl 16 times in a row. Mike rode the first time but had 
enough after that. Landon rode with whoever had room until he met a little buddy who rode it with him the next 10 times or so. After we left Landon said his stomach didn't feel great - wonder why????? Ella and Eli enjoyed the chair lifts, boats and the merry-go-round. One of Eli's favorites, which we didn't even get a picture 
of, was him feeding the goats and deer. He loved to feed them and wasn't afraid of them biting or taking his cone out of his hand.

We were thankful for the beautiful weather and having so much fun together. Ella is already asking to go back, but luckily the fair will be in town soon!!
