Weekend at Joy's

We spent the last weekend in Bakersville, NC visiting Greg's sister Joy.

This is her dog, Amber.




We hadn't been there 5 minutes and Luke had already found the water hose!

Before we left Knoxville, we stopped at the Fruit and Berry Patch on the way out of town and picked some blueberries and blackberries - only $2 per pound.
P.S. If you want to find a farm near you, go to www.pickyourown.org


We made a blueberry buckle with most of the blueberries.


This is a pretty little goldfinch outside Joy's window.


If you hadn't figured it out already, Joy is a potter. Here is a nice display she has outside.




This little butterfly liked Luke...

He was so excited that it landed on his hand!


On Saturday, we took a hike up on top of Roan Mountain








Isn't that an amazing view?!?!?!



The Cloudland Hotel site...

All that is left of the ruins on Roan Mtn


That's Joy's cat, Ziggy.


Back at the water hose again ...



A cool swinging bridge near Joy's house...

Throwing rocks ... boys will be boys!
We had a blast. We ate some amazing dinners, saw some awesome views, played some Scrabble, and took a ton of pictures! We'll have to go back again real soon!
