Day 7 in the Mountains

Friday we went back to the park and the kids had a great time on all of the slides. There must be at least 6 different ones. Devenney is fearless, Cole isn't, but once she went flying down all the slides, he followed suit. Earlier in the week he would not slide down any of them by himself. Thanks Dev!

There was a lot of static on the slides.

After nap we went down to Bryson City, NC to Deep Creek to go tubing. The guys first traveled up the mountain and tubed down. They both flipped out of their tubes at the bigger falls. Courtnie and I went up after the guys did but only to the bridge which avoids the two bigger falls. The water was extremely cold but not as bad as I had thought. Brian will tell you otherwise. It was a lot of fun. We then went to Angelos in Bryson City for pizza.

Cole was much more interested in running towards the parking lot than the creek. Fortunately we found this little spot on the creek where a tree had come down so it trapped him in. It was the perfect spot. He did finally warm up to playing in the water.
