A Day at Kings Mountain Battleground

My mom and my sister, Deandra, came in last Wednesday evening to visit for a few days. Since Daniel didn't have to work Thursday we decided to take the kids to the Kings Mountain Battleground. It was a really nice day and we wanted to spend it outdoors instead of inside. Besides my mom had never seen it before and we figured she would really enjoy visiting a "historical" place.


First, we stopped by The Living History Farm. It was really interesting to get to see how the people back then used to live. It was actually really neat - they had everything they needed right there on their property.


This was one of the homes they had there.



I think this is where they did some of their cooking.

The kids really liked the seeing the roosters that were roaming around.....even the big kids!


Like father....like son.


Another picture of that cute little house.


The most wonderful, loving husband a girl could ask for.


After we left the Living History Farm we hiked for one and a half miles around the Kings Mountain Battleground.


My mother and I starting to feel the burn coming uphill. Hey....at least it wasn't hot. It was actually a little cool and very windy.


The kids stopped for a quick pose up against one of the monuments......


while Mommy and Grammi stopped to catch their breath for a minute.

We had a great day and enjoyed just being together!
