Mountain Fun, Part 2

Sunday after breakfast we hiked Graveyard Falls.  It was supposed to be 30-90 minute hikes, depending on which trail you took.  We planned on doing the short one...it even for us it was too short with the boys.  So we decided to continue on all the way to the top of the falls.  It was a beautiful hike and I was especially impressed with Jack and Ewan.  They did extremely well.  They are great little hikers!!!!

We got to the top and had some fun playing in the water.  After snacks, a bottle for Sean and other adventures (aka me falling flat on my butt and elbow, covered in water and mud) we headed back.  Jack and Ewan still did well, despite it being nearly 1:30 and not having had lunch yet!!  Ewan was definitely getting tired though and after several falls, scratches and skinned knees I had to carry him.  I ended up carrying him most of the way back (1.6 miles).  Good thing I work out at the gym!!!  Sean took his nap on the way back.

Needless to say when we got to the car it didn't take long for all the boys to fall asleep.  Of course this meant no regular afternoon nap.  It was 3 by the time we got home.  So we had some snacks, took baths and showers and went out for an early dinner. 

We went to Marco Trittoria....one of my favorite restaurants in Brevard.  My duck risotto was heavenly.  Just like being back in Italy.  We also got a caraffe of wine....couldn't even finish it they filled it so full!!

After dinner we headed to the park to wear out the boys and then to Dolly's for some ice cream.  Sean enjoyed his first licks of ice cream.  He likes coconut ice cream, as do I!!!

Today we went to the Fourth Festival in Brevard.  Jack and Ewan enjoyed playing on the bouncies, though it was hot.  We checked out the car show and had lunch.  Then it was back to the house to clean up and pack.  All in all a great weekend, despite lack of sleep!  The boys just get so excited to be there they don't sleep much.
