Fresh Mountain Air!!!

Friday the boys and I trekked up to the mountains and had a blast.  It was just a short trip to enjoy the White Squirrel Festival, but we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.   Saturday morning Jack and Ewan were going with me and Oma to the farmer's market so Opa would stay home with Chloe and watch Sean too.  Jack, with honest sincerity and concern, told Opa "don't break him"!!!  It was just way too funny!!!!  As it turns out Sean slept the whole time anyway.

Sean had such fun exploring the mountain house.  New turn to check out and fun things...like trying to climb up the hearth to the fireplace.  The house is mostly child proof, but there is still stuff to get into.  Jack and Ewan also enjoyed playing with their toy stash there....they forgot about some of those toys since it's been far too long since we were last there.

We headed to the festival, fully slathered in sunblock of course!!  The first order of business was play time for the boys...they had two bounce areas for them there.  Ewan was THRILLED....I don't think I've ever seen him smile so much in his life!  Then it was off to lunch at a new restaurant in town.  Jack was COVERED in his grilled PB and banana sandwich and Ewan COVERED in his PB&J sandwich.  They entertained everyone the rest of the time we were out...quite colorful with the jelly ALL OVER!

The highlight was the soapbox derby.  Jack and Ewan absolutely loved it.  They were enthralled and mesmerized watching the kids race.  And of course the 4 wheeler pulling them back uphill was exciting too.

And then we headed home later that afternoon.  An action packed day wore them out and they napped at least part of the way home.
