Day 3 in Maggie Valley

This was the day Kalyn was waiting for...The day HAILEY arrived!!! She knew Hailey was coming on Saturday and was staring out the door watching for them to pull up even though they were hours away. I finally told her watching and waiting for them made the wait seem longer! Brooke and I were also very excited because this was the day Brooke got to meet her Aunt Kelly, Uncle Kevin and cousins Hailey, Shelby, Dylan and Ashley.

Here is a video of Kalyn and Nancy getting into the creek. Kalyn was such a girl in this video! Towards the middle of the video Kalyn uses a tree to lean on to get into the creek. The tree was covered in little mushrooms. She notices that AFTER she put her hand on it. It was the funniest thing!

Great pics! Esp. love the pushin' poop face of Brooke. That kept us all laughing in NC :) I'll take your word that that's a Jeff face :) It sure was funny how much that baby girl of yours poops. At least she's regular! Ash saves hers up and then blows them out all over (as you've seen :)). That pic of Shelby by the creek is a great one. I've never seen it. The trip was all the more fun with Kalyn there...the girls were in a funk the day you left. It wasn't the same w/o her...she's like part of the family. And sorry again to our fav. cousin for all the bullying...between Ash taking her clips out constantly and pinching her and Dylan touching her head every time he saw her, I'm sure she was very overstimulated. I'm sure Brooke's happy to be home and away from the Steg kid grabbiness! lol :) Such great times in the mountains. Only would have been better if Jeff was there...and if we had a dishwasher and more comfy sofas! Love you guys!!
