A thunderstorm began to roll in while we were on the mountain.
Joshua on top of Grandfather Mountain.
We had to leave Mom at home because she never would have crossed this bridge!
The trees take quite a beating at 6000 feet.
Good thing Joshua was there to keep the rock from falling!
Here is a shot of the mile high swing bridge we got to cross.
The zen master getting close to nature.
The start of the climb (good thing the road went most of way!).

King of the world!
I think this is when Joshua decided the mountains were way cool! What a beautiful view.
This is why they are called the Smokeys!

Here is Joshua checking out a building built over a spring. This is where the owners of the cabin kept the things thye needed to keep cool. Not a bad backyard either!
The views were incredible!

Joshua and Dad spent a day driving from Roanoke, VA to Ashville, NC on the Blue Ridge Parkway. We stopped whenever we saw something interesting.
It was great to see the Blue Stars big again! We enjoyed their show.
We had seats in the first row at the drum corps show, giving us great picture taking angles. Here is the drum major of the LaCrosse Blue Stars right before the began their performance.
Joshua meets Scooby Doo? Joshua and Dad got to spend a couple of days in the mountains this week. Our first stop was a drum corps show in Salem, VA where we ran across a woman walking a 150lb Great Dane. Now that's a dog!
We learned that Joshua still has good air!
We want to thank Grandma and Grandpa Jordan, Aunt Chrystal, Christopher, Cayley and Uncle William for making it to the party.
It is hard to believe Joshua is now ten. The years do fly by!
We celebrated Joshua's 10th birthday on July 25th with a family dinner at Pizza Hut.
