A Sunday in the Pines and Quakies

We spent a few hours on Sunday visiting Jared and Kristi up on Skyline Drive on Fairview mountain. The rest of us couldn't go camping but we could drive up on Sunday for a little visit. The flowers are all out in bloom, everything was so green. Even though our visit was cut short by a rainstorm we enjoyed their company and had a nice time.
There are areas just full of beautiful flowers right now. July is an awesome time of the year to come to Fairview. Look at the bright yellow!!

We were fortunate to see some deer when visiting Jared and Kristi camping at Fairview. The foliage is so green that the deer stick out like a sore thumb. Everything was so beautiful!!


Brayden always is taking care of his little cousin Gentry. Look at her camping hair!!! Gotta love it..lol



Shana and I always get teased about taking pictures of ourselves but what you don't know is that no one ever takes pictures of us so we have to take our own..hahahaha..




Jared and his family went up to Fairview yesterday to stay for a few days in their trailer. He always gives me dirty looks when I take his picture..lol





Jakes always a good sport to haul the boys around on his shoulders. He's got the muscles to do it though. lol. Look at the beautiful quakies and foliage!! We were looking for deer and we got lucky.






It started to rain so we had to come and take shelter in Jareds trailer. Gentry and Papa are enjoying a cookie. Jared looks bored..lol







Jared and Kristi brought our 4 wheeler with them camping. While we were visiting ,the kids of course needed to ride. This picture would have been complete if I could have had little Colby with us in the picture!! My grandkids are the best!!








Look at the way Gentry is looking at her mommy. Gentry looks so much like Shana when she was a little girl. It's crazy!! We got tired of hiking so we sat on a log and took pictures. I sure love these two girls!!









Jared and Roger wanted to go scout out some deer where they hunt each year. Well, we didn't want to stay at their trailer so Kristi, Makinley and Gentry and I all came along. Jared was a good sport. Even though we were supposed to be quiet we were quite noisey and we were even able to see two deer and a little fawn. Makinley loved riding on her daddys shoulders.

Those are beautiful pictures. It's so green and pretty. What a fun outing with the family. I'm so jealous that we dont get to do those family outings anymore. They're few and far between.

You and Shana must have LOOOONG arms to take your own picture and have them look so good. Everytime, I try that I look disfigured.... Oh wait, that's just me, uh? We all can't be as beautiful and you two. whine, whine whine.

I like the vacant expressions on Jared's face.
Tell Jared "thanks" for taking care of Sarah while she was in same day surgery; didn't get to see him there.
