A trip to North Carolina, back to school, a birthday, football, an eclipse: why not jam it all into one post?!
Into the smokey mountains
And note: no ipads/phones/screens of any kind on the 10 hour drive; it is still possible for kids to be bored on road trips. haha Staring out the window is underrated, right?!

Farewell to camp! The Spy enjoyed a whole month there this summer.
I painted this with my camp bestie in 1999! (its the floor of a girls’ cabin)
We enjoyed a misty hike
One little pop of color!
Likin this lichen
Almost there!
We tried to do this hike a few years ago but didn’t make it to the falls (the whole thing was straight uphill) it took us nearly 3 hours to get up to the falls.
Which were somewhat underwhelming but I’m never going to complain about a hike/nature!
Fuzzy mushroom
We also took a little walk around Asheville (we all much preferred the woods).

And today we saw the solar eclipse which was very cool.
Totally cool!
Great photos! A packed month, for sure. Happy Birthday to ‘Zilla! Wow, kindergarten already and 6th for Spy. Yikes!
LOVE the bunny harness, so cute! No more runaways. ;)
Cool that she got a Venus fly trap, too. A perfect gift for this one. ;)
You were lucky to be in the path of totality – were the kids impressed by the eclipse?
It has definitely been nonstop around here! Yes we were all impressed by the eclipse it was really awesome! Thanks for the comments :)
