More North Carolina fun

While in NC, we "hiked" at Max Patch, which is a beautiful grassy bald where the Appalachian Trail crosses through. The girls and I set up camp on a picnic blanket and the guys hiked to the top. It has a great 360 view of the mountains, and we hear that in peak leaf season it is just breathtaking. While we were there, the leaves were just starting to tinge orange, but the field was full of wildflowers. The girls had a blast picking everyone bouquets and running freely. We had a picnic lunch when the guys got back from their hike and enjoyed the gorgeous weather.

Here are the girls at the trail head, all ready for their big hike.



And, here they are playing in the wildflowers.







And, last but not least Scott and I taking advantage of the great photo op.
