Exploring Around Blacksburg

While in Blacksburg for Thanksgiving we had a fun trip to a local park. Above, Lydia (6) helps Russell (2) to climb down the caboose's steps.

We had a special opportunity to walk along the bottom of Mountain Lake (a special local spot for at least a century, more recently made famous by the 1987 film Dirty Dancing). The lake has been known to empty out before: but not in over 100 years! Ross took a special, more challenging hike with his Dad and Grandpa in the early season snow! Jim Thomas posted some of their striking photos along with a bit of lake history here.

  1. So fun to go back over the last few months of your family fun. So many get togethers and even an official indoctrination into the tween life with the Cheetah Girls. :)
