LINVILLE FALLS

We had some beautiful snow-free weather when we first arrived at the Mountain house in January before we got snowed in by the beautiful snowy weather.

We went sight seeing the first few days and went hiking at Linville falls again.

Of course, no one else was there because with all the construction and closures on the Blue Ridge Parkway it's nearly impossible to get to.

Joey really, I mean really, loves hiking and climbing and exploring and discovering nature.

That is Daddy holding on to a little girl who was ready to go swimming.

The paths were a little slippery.

No, but really, this was only one little section. For the most part, only part of the trail would be iced over. Joey had no trouble. But we did have to carry her over this part.

Peek-a-boo! I see you!

Joey found herself a walking stick.

She was fascinated with sticks in general, really.
