Our Trip to Grandfather Mountain!



We spent the second half of the day at Grandfather Mountain. At the top of the mountain is a mile high swinging bridge...it is literally in the clouds. We have never experienced anything as cold as it was to be on that bridge. The wind chill was seriously around zero degrees. It was a great view, however, and just one of those things you got to do! The girls really enjoyed the natural animal habitat. We saw a black bear, a bald eagle, a cougar, a bunch of deer and an otter. After visiting the animals, we stopped at a little fudge shop and sampled a large variety of fudge. It was nice to warm up and eat dessert before dinner. We stopped to take a few pics of Price Lake before we left the mountains. We're thinking we might have to go camping or rent a cabin at that lake next spring sometime...it was beautiful! We had an awesome day and enjoyed making fun memories with the girls! This time of year in the mountains is indescribable...you just see and feel God everywhere through His awesome creations!
