Fourth of July in North Carolina

We packed our bags and headed to Blowing Rock, North Carolina, for the Fourth of July. Hannah had a lot of fun on the airplane and it was so fun to see the ordeal through her eyes. She loved everything from taking her shoes on and off for security to seeing the clouds up close and personal. She entertained the entire plane by standing up backwards on mommy's lap and shouting "Weeeeee!"






















Grandpa Pete and Grandma Margie were so excited to see Hannah again. It had been a looooong time!

















We took Hannah on a hike to Linville Falls on the second day of our vacation. She enjoyed accompanying daddy the whole way up and down the mountain.













Hannah also got to meet the two doggies, Daisy and Isaac. At first, she was a bit afraid of them but by the end of the week she would at least pet them when asked.













The week before we arrived, my mom found a kitten living underneath the rhododendron bush in her front yard. My mom named the kitty Rhoda and had been working on taming it for a few days. Hannah adored the little thing. There's always an animal adventure to be had with the Deibels! No wonder Hannah likes Dora the Explorer so much :)
