Joel’s Birthday

​

Joel had a great 9th birthday!  He invited some college girls and friends to Lizards Thicket for a Southern lunch. Then we went to do a special birthday outing at DQ.  Joel also had a bowling and pool party today.  He still loves lizards and all kinds of reptile things.  He grew in his love for reading this year.  He still loves to climb trees and be outdoors.  We are thankful for Joel!  

Mayberry

 We are driving to PA to visit family and decided to stop in Mayberry on our way.  

Appalachian Trail Carvers Gap

Our first day in Tennessee, we hiked the Appalachian Trail at Carvers Gap.  There was high winds and snow and ice but it was so fun.  We want to go back here.  The hike on the top of the ridge is beautiful!  We have heard that it some of the best trails on the AT.  The ice and snow were fun too.  

 

Fairhaven Ministries

 

We had a great Spring Break getaway at Fairhaven Ministries in TN.  Explored Roan Mountain State Park and hikes and visited with our friends the Johnson's.  

Weekend with friends

Stephanie and Michelle came down to Greenville for the weekend.  We had a lot of fun together.  Then my roomie and friend Sara Fillmann came through on their way to Florida, such a fun lunch together!  It was fun to see Rob and Caleb and Eric as well.
