A Trip to Lookout Mtn.



This gorgeous view is just a little hike up from the Montreat campus. The first time we tried to make it up, I was in sandals. And I should probably correct the fact that Brenton did make it up. I was the one to slack...the shoes, bear stories, the sky turning dark...making it to the top was not my priority.

I've truly have been a little nervous to hike too far up; a couple recently told us they saw two black bears from the trail. And most excitingly, we hiked up early evening both times, right when the bears like to make their appearance. However, when Heather and Wes invited us last weekend, the idea of having a group of people and two dogs around grew on my pretty quick. Not that it would do much good since Roxy is a small, timid critter that loves to yelp and Lexi is an overzealous puppy in a big body. We'd probably have gotten ourselves into more trouble riling a grumpy black bear up!

Lexi, you poor mistreated dog. Brenton was always one to dress up...guess he's passing that trait on to his "children." The fall pictures are beautiful. Hope you enjoyed the snow. Brrrr! It's going back to the upper 70's/80 this week. Can't wait for Christmas vacation. We've missed you all SOOO much!
