| Griffin Family Photo Shoot |
This past weekend, my family made our first weekend trip to the mountains...ever! This may surprise you, but my family is not very outdoorsy. I have only become interested in the outdoors since I met Keith..and he never really gave me a choice about it. I was excited about my family going on this trip together. Our mountain condo was cozy and very 1970's ish...but absolutely perfect! We spent Friday night playing games and reminising on the 'good old days'. It was a blast!

On Saturday, we got up for a family photo shoot (I have included some pics for you to see). Mom REALLY wanted to do one of those infamous shots where everyone wears black shirts and jeans. I must say, they turned out great (well, except for the fact that we couldn't get Thomas and Griffin to look at the camera at the same time). Keith really did an awesome job taking pictures! After our glamour shots, we headed out for sight seeing and hiking. Keith took us to a place called the stomp ground. Apparently it was an old railroad tunnel that was never completed because of the civil war. Talk about creepy! Aftewards, we had a picnic and headed to a nearby park that had beautiful waterfalls and a suspension bridge. The bridge was very cool...what wasn't so cool though was the 310 steps down to the bridge and then 310 steps back up! I think my body is still recovering! We finally made it back to the condo where we grilled steaks and had round 2 of drinks and games. I enjoyed hanging out with the whole family, but I especially enjoyed my time with my brothers. We rarely get to spend time together these days and it was nice to catch up with one another and joke around. Things haven't really changed between the three of us. I know am very lucky to have such wonderful siblings!
The next morning, we enjoyed watching Griffin and Thomas play together. It amazes everyone to see how much they have grown in such a short amount of time and how every time they get together, they seem closer and closer in age.

All in all, it was an unforgettable weekend. I will cherish the memories we made there for a long time to come! Can't wait til next year :)
