Last month, we took a weekend trip to Boone with our friends Matt and Victoria and their almost-2-year-old daughter Elaina. It was a much needed weekend getaway, from both the hot weather and our usual surroundings. We stayed in a cool mountain cabin, cooked our own food, went on several nature hikes, and soaked in a hot tub after Ally and Elaina went to bed for the night. Additionally, Ben and Matt challenged each other to a series of ping-pong matches, in which I believe Matt was the overall winner. Here are a few pics from the weekend.
Victoria pointing out a huge waterfall. This particular hike was pretty strenuous in that there was a lot of unsure footing (not ideal if there are toddlers in tow). Ben and Victoria did this part of the hike themselves while Matt and I stayed behind with the girls.

The two families.
Me and Ally. What transpired after this shot was that Ally accidentally sat down in a very large puddle of water and consequently had to do the return trip in soaking wet socks and shoes with no pants. She did not seem to mind too much.

Ally and Elaina. They are doing very typically girly things here-Ally is browsing though an issue of People Magazine while Elaina admires herself in her mommy's flip-flops.
