Year 3, Day 278

We headed back home this morning after a restful Thanksgiving in Lake Lure. And after Miles got a little more bonding time with Pickles. Miles was not happy about the prospect of leaving. As we were getting packed up, he asked, "We goin' on an adventure?" "We are going on an adventure!" I confirmed, foolishly … Continue reading Year 3, Day 278 →

Year 3, Day 276

We wouldn't want to bring Miles to Lake Lure and not spend some time outside. Miles couldn't wait to get out of the house. He even put "his" shoes on all by himself. His time outdoors today was divided into two opposing experiences. First, water, as Miles ran and played along Lake Lure. He can … Continue reading Year 3, Day 276 →

Year 3, Day 275

We were all disappointed when it became obvious that this year's Thanksgiving would not involve traveling back to Myrtle Beach to see our families. Fortunately, we were more than able to compensate for this with a trip to Lake Lure to spend the weekend with Jaclyn's sister and her husband. Naturally, when it came time … Continue reading Year 3, Day 275 →

Year 3, Day 258

We packed up and headed back to Charlotte today after our brief (TOO brief, frankly) weekend at Lake Lure, but we took our time getting on the road to get in one last hit of that mountain living. Miles approves! One spot we definitely wanted to see before we left was the Lake Lure Flowering … Continue reading Year 3, Day 258 →

Year 3, Day 257

Miles has a ton of energy and keeping up with him can be a tremendous undertaking. Fortunately, he's got people around this weekend who are more than willing to indulge him on his "adventures." ...and by "adventures," I mean repeatedly throwing tennis balls over the deck of the cabin, then going downstairs over and over … Continue reading Year 3, Day 257 →

Year 3, Day 256

We started today off with a hike up to Chimney Rock, and Miles woke up absolutely ready for it (despite robbing us of a good night's sleep). While the ascent up the mountain is made easier with staircases, it still manages to be a pretty rigorous hike. I thought Miles might get tired out and … Continue reading Year 3, Day 256 →

Year 3, Day 255

We picked Miles up early from daycare today for another weekend sojourn to the mountains. This time, we rented a cabin on Lake Lure with some friends. Miles still hasn't stopped talking about our weekend getaway from a couple months ago, so naturally he's thrilled with the current accommodations. He wasted no time exploring every … Continue reading Year 3, Day 255 →
