We went to Cherokee, NC this weekend with my mom, her sister and my kids. We stayed on the Cherokee tribes reservation (the eastern band), in a hotel, next time we want to go camping. It was a slow relaxing weekend. The kids and I went into all of the shops and looked at moccasin's, cool leather, arrowheads, bows and arrows and other cool stuff made by the Cherokee Indians. We also saw some not so cool stuff made in China :-(I made some really cool observations about my kids.
Kateland loves the outdoors, it runs in her veins. As you can see above we where in a Bamboo Forest and the first thing she did was climb it and then we spent time skipping rocks. She got up to like eight skips with one rock. I know, she's amazing!! She is also my most favorite shopping partner. We really do not even have to be shopping but just going through museums and learning history we love it and it is a special thing we love to do together! The Biltmore Estate is our next trip, just her and I.
Isaac is my look at me kid. He likes lots of attention and loves to talk about just about everything. He loves to mimic his sister as you can see in the picture above, but sshhh don't tell anyone he is really on his sisters shoulders! He stuck his feet in the freezing river with my Mom and tried to skip rocks most of which sunk to the bottom on first hit. He called me and my Mom broadcasters, can you believe it he says we tell everything :-) Poor Isaac the only guy with a bunch of woman!
I loved hearing my mom and sister talk about growing up and the things they did as kids. My aunt drove the whole way because she says my mom scares her. My mom scares me too and my kids informed me that I scare them. Kateland says I can get anywhere in half the time it should take.
I got to thinking there are different types of travelers. Which one are you? There are the lookers, constantly looking out the windows and wanting to stop at every spot (this is me and my mom, that's why were bad drivers). There are the drivers, they think they drive the best and fell better in control of the car. Then there are the sleepers, who at any time can find a place to snooze and do so (this is my kids). Oh and one more, there are readers who just can't put that book down (this makes me sick in the car now). I used to be a reader. So tell me who you are and if you can think of any others.
