Ok, so here's the story of the next few pictures. The mountain house where we were staying had a driveway that was about a 1/4 mile long with some incredibly sharp turns and it proceeded up an extremely steep hill. The owners of the house actually have boxes of t-shirts at the house that say "I did the hill on Bear Paw". Bear Paw would be the name of the road and you have to go down it and then back up to get a shirt. Well, when we saw the t-shirts, we were determined that we could tackle that hill. Amazing what people will do for a t-shirt, isn't it? So on Saturday afternoon, we all put on our workout clothes, well except for Holly because she's pregnant and not far enough along to deliver and she would have gone in labor after that hike! Oh and Joey went too but he's taking all the pictures so you never actually see him.
See here we are before we start down the driveway.....all smiles. So naive.
As you can tell from the pictures we were all excited and silly as we started down the hill........that got old about.......oh the first turn. But still not so bad.....in fact I think we were laughing in the face of that hill all the way down.
Again here we are at the bottom of the hill.....still being silly.......still completely clueless about the misery to come.
So of course Joey was the first one back (and in fact ran up the hill....show off) so he was waiting to take pictures of me as I came dragging back.....still smiling......but only for the camera. I was dying!!!
Here are the stragglers, bring up the rear!!
This is the really cool railing that was done throughout the house. It was made from the Mountain Laurel trees that were taken down to build the house and apparently caused a few contractors to quit in the process. Can't imagine why! But it's beautiful!
