A year or so ago, my parents started this tradition of taking each grandchild on a trip with them each summer. They usually travel to Jacksonville once a month for my dad's job, so usually the trips are to Jacksonville. Because 3 of the grandkids are school-aged now, there were not enough Jacksonville trips to go around, so mom and dad have taken Evan with them to Pigeon Forge, TN for 3 days and 2 nights. He is having a ball. They stopped in Cherokee for a picnic yesterday afternoon and Evan enjoyed some baked beans and fried chicken. As his daddy said yesterday... that boy loves him some baked beans.
They also visited Newfound Gap.
Evan's favorite part appears to be rock-hopping and playing in the freezing cold mountain creeks.
We are thrilled he is having such a good time. That child is at his very happiest when he is with his GranNan and Poppy. Corin and I try not to take it too personally, but we know where we rate.
Meanwhile, Pressley is thoroughly enjoying her temporary role as only child. She has been a joy. I know she misses her brother though because she asks me 10 times a day, "Whes Evan?"
