We stayed a mile from Chimney Rock and Lake Lure, two beautiful natural attractions. We had a great time taking pictures, driving through the mountains, and climbing Chimney Rock.
We also hiked to a waterfall. It was only a mile and half round trip but with two little hikers and a backpack it seemed much longer. We finally made it and you can see our triumphant faces at the end!
Silas loves birds. He freaks out whenever he sees them. The other day we saw a redtailed hawk at the park and he was screaming and squealing the whole time because he was so excited. He also loves to chase seagulls. It is awesome to watch him. So one day at the park in New Bern I chased them with him. It was fun and freeing. Oh, the simple joys!
