We stayed with Chris's Aunt and Uncle (Pat and Robert) in Asheville through Easter. The kids had a great time at the really nice park in their neighborhood, and the Easter Bunny left them some goodies too!

Then we went to Waynesville to stay with Chris's cousins Don and Mary Ann at "The Big House" for a few days. We got to see Mi-Mi, Grammy, Pops, and Jerry too! We had an Easter Egg Hunt, jumped on the trampoline, and had lots of fun looking around at Cataloochee.
"The Big House" - where Don and Mary Ann live.
Sarah thought the best part was Mary Ann because she has
the same color hair as she does!

We had a picnic at the Caldwell House in
Cataloochee - finished in 1909.
See http://www.mysmokymountainvacation.com/historicbuildings/cataloochee.html for more info on this and other Cataloochee attractions including the Hannah House which goes back to Mi-Mi's husband's family (the Hannah's). It was really neat learning all the history!
The last leg of the journey was at Grandma and Daddy Bill's house. We visited the
NC Transportation Museum in Spencer that has tons of cool trains, planes, and
automobiles to look at! Then Sarah got to go see the horses at Silver Hill Farms where
Mommy used to ride. She got to brush them, ride them, and even got to ride in the lead
line class in a real horse show the next day! She tied for first place! :-)

This steam engine was in the movie Leatherheads
with George Clooney - they shot some scenes right
here in Spencer where the train museum is.

Sarah got to brush Goody, a pony at Silver Hill Farms in Lexington.
And then she got to ride Tucker!
Cheese!!! Mommy, I want to do this again!
So, the next day we got up at 6 am to meet Lori and the
horses in Summerfield for the Steeple Hill Horse Show....Sarah
is not a morning person.
But it ended with Sarah winning a blue ribbon!!
(she tied for first)
