A Visit with the Honn Family

Lindsay, Jesse, and the kids came to visit the day after Christmas on their way to see family in Tennessee.  We all had such a wonderful visit and the kids played so well!  On Friday we were blessed with a sunny warm day so we packed a picnic lunch and hiked a portion of the Appalachian Trail to Sawtooth Ridge.  It was great terrain for the kids - even Amie walked a good part of the time.  Unfortunately, I forgot to charge my camera battery after Christmas so I didn't get many pictures.  Fortunately, Lindsay got some REALLY great ones, so many of these I borrowed from her blog at http://www.lindsayandjesse.blogspot.com.  : )  Thanks, Lindsay, both for the pictures and for a great visit!

Brady was glad when we finally found a "lunch rock."  He was obviously hungry - he asked
when we were going to eat and I told him we would have lunch at the first big
rock we found to sit on.  After that he diligently pointed out any rock, asking if
that was a good lunch rock!  : )

Once again, similar to our last hike on the AT, we chose the difficult path
on the way up!  I was thankful we didn't have to descend by this route!
Jesse commented that it would be a workout for the "buns" and I
think he was right!  I could envision more sliding than
walking if we headed down that hill!

I love this picture Lindsay took for us!!  Will actually smiled!!!
