For the past 4 years, our family has visited my parent's mountain cabin in NC. We love it there! The weather is cool, the ATVs are fun to ride, the food is great, the bear hunts are exciting, the fireworks are amazing, the shopping is quaint, etc. It is just all around a good time. Our trips to the mtns. are always memorable. This trip we chose to take the children to Ghost Town in the Sky. My children have not been the same since! The boys have taken to impersonating the gun fights they saw firsthand in the old town, they hide behind things yelling at the other one to come out and stand up for themselves "or I will shoot" and they even pretend to have dynamite to blow away any unwanted criminals. Mason-Kate stands to the side with a sword for protection. Keep in mind that I am not an advocate for guns, fighting, etc. especially when it comes to my children. However, they are having so much fun pretending to be like the old western folk that used to live back in the day. Appropriately so, the boys were taken with the live action and MK was taken with the Can-Can girls performance. She loved the music and is quite a dancer! She also enjoyed her first carousel ride while the boys rode the roller coaster a few times. Throughout our holiday weekend, I could not help but think about where MK was this time last year. On July 4th, 2007 our baby girl was being released from a children's hospital in China after having her lip repaired. To think that one year later, she is healed and with her forever family who just adores every second with her....definitely another reason to celebrate!

Wow! David was released from the hospital after his lip repair on the same day. Those two must know each other. I can't wait to get them back together again.
