high country chronicles

Just beautiful.

We just got back from visiting Chris’s brother and his wife in Lexington, VA.  We haven’t been back since winter of 2012, so it’s been a while. And since they have three kids, there were definitely some changes!

Summer, age 5

River, Pierson, and Summer

It rained almost every day, and while that may seem tedious, to us it was a welcome reprieve.  Of course as luck would have it, Flagstaff also got rain while we were gone. C’est la vie…

Anywho, we got to watch the fireworks in a place that wasn’t ready to blow.  And we drove a bit on the historic Blue Ridge Parkway.

And we spent a lot of time with some great people, so it was an extremely memorable trip.

River, after crashing on his bike (no harm done!) after the Fourth of July parade.

The boys (minus Pierson)

There you have it! Oh, if you’re wondering why Pierson is missing in so many of the pictures, it’s because he was in Lacrosse camp all day and wasn’t always with us.  There’s always next time!
