Friends Reunion 2013

Every Memorial Day weekend we gather with a group of college friends from Clemson for a fun long weekend together.  This was our 13th Friend Reunion!  And this may have been our biggest with 9 couples! We are so blessed with great friends from college who love the Lord and spur us on towards love and good deeds! We had a great weekend connecting and laughing with old friends.  Thanks Adam & Staci for planning this year!  I didn't take too many pictures but here are a few....
 Lots of games, Foosball, and corn hole (no pics).... 
 Our house was in Asheville, NC so on our first full day we headed downtown for lunch and to walk around (no pics).  The next day we did a little hike to a beautiful view. Here are some pictures from the hike.  





Here is a group picture at the top of the hike (minus Nate & Su)

 
While we were gone Nate & Su stayed back with their baby and saw a BEAR on our deck!!!! 

Here are 7 of the 9 girls (missing Brandy and Reagan who had already left)


 Jeremy and I enjoyed meandering back to Boiling Springs to get our kids.   We went to a fun coffee house in Asheville and shared a french press.  Then we stopped in Hendersonville for lunch.  It was a great way to end a great weekend.  I love my hubs!  He truly is my best friend! 
 Then we picked up these 4 sweetie pies from Papa & Nana's house and headed home.  I'm so very thankful for my in-laws who love and care for our kids well.  Such a blessing to us!

Dollywood

 Recently we joined Papa & Nana and the Elliott family (Jeremy's sister & family, minus Kaleb who was super missed!) for a trip to Dollywood!  This was our first trip to Dollywood and we had a great time.  We are so grateful for the invitation to join them and enjoy a night getaway.  Here are a few pictures from our time at the park.  

Just starting out

the kettle corn is a big hit!
I love this picture.  Bryn & Kelsey were joined at the hip for the day.  So sweet!
 









Such a fun time!
