Trip to Maggie Valley, NC

The Sunday of our arrival Patty and Tommy took a ride on the real Thomas. Danny and I stood by and watched as it was loud and frightened the lad.






The weather was splendid. Highs averaged in the low 80's and the lowest temperatures we had were in the 50's that's not to shabby for the hottest week of the year. Here is a photo from the front porch of the cabin.



We had a friendly visitor while we were in the cabin. An elk with a 14 point rack sauntered up to say hello. The boys got a real kick out of the wild beast coming so close.







As boys will do they(Tommy and Will) took great pleasure in the privacy of the mountains.



This photo was just Tommy on a rock but look how the clouds have settled in the mountains in the back ground.



Of course Danny had a great time except for the noises which made him cry a bit.



Overall our family had lots of fun. It was nice to have the cousins together with the grandmothers and aunts and uncles.
