We're back from Greer...

And I am a slow poke in posting! Rik mentioned how our blog needed updating... so here goes...




Of course, there were lots of crafts and games - a big hit were these parachutes that you throw up into the air and they float down...










And we brought a new game called Qwirkle which turned out to be lots of fun as well - as long as you learn to score it right - it was a bit tricky!









And it wouldn't be a trip to Greer if the kids didn't go play in the stream. This year they built boats to float. We'll just say the boats needed a lot more engineering! And, we took the dogs to the stream. Dixie was sniffing around and suddenly she got sucked in the current and went under the little bridge that was there. I think she was done sniffing then!














Everyone caught some fish. This was a favorite photo of mine....

Have you ever seen marshmallows this big? We found them at the nearby Bashas. I looked here in town and these marshmallows are not to be found. We had a fire one night and roasted them. I'm sorry you aren't married to the world's most perfect marshmallow roaster... I am! ;) They were YUM - and well they should be - they are 95 calories a pop - about the same as 4 regular ones! I have a few left over if you would like to come visit and eat a couple! ;)

Overall, we had a great time being in the mountains - a lot cooler than down here in the valley - it was hard to come back!
