We finally decided that Anneliese was old enough to brave the untamed wilderness of the KOA campground. We went when Kate was about her age and it was a big hit, so we hit the road early Friday morning and made the trek up to Boone.
As Blake was trying to convince Kate to go to sleep the night before, he reminded her that she needed to be rested for the big trip. Without missing a beat - she said, "Don't worry dad, I'll take my chances." Really? What do you say to that? Blake just shook his head and walked out.
Well, the trip was a big, exhausting hit. From the dogs at the campground, to the bunk beds in the cabin (yeah - I said cabin. we're not crazy, folks!), to the big 'ol Jeanette style camping breakfast, to the s'mores to - the highlight of the weekend - Tweetsie Railroad. While Kate was more interested in the foliage out her window than the Cowboy/Indian interaction on the actual train ride - she had a blast on the Tweetsie Twister and the Tilt-O-Whirl. Thank goodness we had multiple adults to take turns riding with her! Only a 5 year old could handle those things 3 times in a row! Super trip overall - Thanks Omi and Papa!
