Asheville, NC and Mom/Dan/Julie trip

We had a splendid time with the family in April! Julie had a work trip located in Asheville, NC. My Mom went with my sister on the trip and then Dan flew here at the same time. So Papa Dan had some good quality time with his grandson, Will before we headed to the mountains in Asheville to pick up Grandma Con Bon and Auntie Julie to return to Charlotte for an extended vacation. Julie stayed a few days and then returned home to Duluth. Mom/Dan stayed until the Tuesday after Easter.

Here are pictures from our time together.

Papa Dan showing Will how to hit the ball. We spent alot of time outside, playing ball and playing bubbles. Will's two favorite things right now.

In the Black Mountains, ready to start our hike

Will really enjoys nature. He sat on this rock for a few minutes just staring off into space and listening to the trickle of the stream.

Will says "Hey come on! Why are you so slow?"

One of my favorite pictures. Will running to his Auntie Julie from down the hill. I love you Auntie Julie.

Papa Dan, Grandma Con Bon and Will enjoying the weather. We are now back home.

Auntie Julie's scarf was a big hit with Will!

Family pic but where's Rick?? He's taking the photo silly!

Thanks Mom & Dan for everything. Here they are in their matching shirts. :)

Dan bought a 2005 Chevy Suburban down here. Then, he drove it home --24 hours straight with no stopping for sleep. He's a crazy mad man! This was an unplanned purchase but couldn't pass up the deal.

Here is Will's new water table which he LOVES. You can buy this exact one at Walmart for $30.  The Easter Bunny brought this. It started off really fun but now its turned into.. let me splash everywhere and dump buckets of water on my own head! LOL
