Josh Howell Family Visit

Hello, Josh, Jeni Kaden and Nadia arrived on Friday, it has taken me a bit to get it together and get pix on this blog. It is already Monday and they go home on Wednesday, and I haven't even posted anything yet. Sorry! Saturday we went Kayaking and Kaden loved it....now he wants a Kayak for Christmas. Sunday we went to Santa Land and then looked for flat rocks (to paint later) in the Cherokee River. Today, although it started rainy, we headed for Sliding Rock. Josh, after much consternation this AM, decided he would go down with Nadia. Nadia went once on Josh's lap, but unfortunately went under and would not go again. The shock of the COLD water did her in. OH NO! But the trooper Kaden, went down 6 or 7 times and then he too decided it was way too cold. Then of course it was a trip to the ice cream shop at the entrance to Pisgah Forest. It was a great fun day. BUT NOW, both Grandpa and Josh are sleeping in the family room. Snoring, matter of fact. Oh, and by the way Luke, Josh said he is a bigger man than you will ever be!!!!
