We had a very relaxing fourth of July weekend. We traveled to Mount Magazine State park where we met Adam's mom and dad and sister and her husband and kids. We all shared a 2 bedroom cabin complete with a hot tub with a mountaintop view. It was so beautiful there! The weather couldn't have been better. We didn't swelter in the sticky heat like we would where we live. It was 10-15 degrees cooler than down in the valley. The guys enjoyed nature hikes while the girls chatted, napped and did some cooking. Cory (my bro-in-law) got in the kitchen quite a bit too! He's quite the cook! We saw a couple of interesting programs about the bears that live on the mountain and about the soldiers back in the day that came to the mountain. We visited the beautiful lodge right down the road from our cabin and went swimming one day. Shelby mustered up the courage to slide down the slide into the water. That only happened once. She did not want to continue! July 4th, we went to an overlook to catch the sunset (which was gorgeous) and tried to see some fireworks but they were too far away. They looked like tiny flashes in the sky. We couldn't even hear them. Sunday morning before we packed up and left, we sang a few songs from a hymnal Adam brought. We were going to go outside on our back porch to sing but were afraid we'd wake the neighbors! Cory shared a devotional about fearing God and really did a good job relating it to the kids in a way that they could understand. It was nice! We all really enjoyed our little church service!
If you ever want a relaxing weekend away, check out Mount Magazine! We are sure glad we went!

that sounds so nice! I LOVE that you all had an impromptu church service. There is just no better place to worship than right in the midst of His glorious works is there?!!
