North Carolina

"We all made it!" That was the amazement of our trip to North Carolina! 5 families...all under one roof! Luckily the adults still outnumbered the kiddos! For the count: 10 adults and 8 kiddos (8, 5, 2.5, 2.5, 1.5, 1.5, 8 months, 4 months). And to answer your next question, yes we all survived! The key to survival was the mandatory "adults only" party that started once the kiddos were all asleep. The house would go from being loud and crazy and it slowly got quieter and quieter until the last one drifted off to sleep and then laughter could be heard echoing through the mountains as mommies and daddies headed out to the wrap around porch. The fire would be sparked, s'mores would be assembled and the drinks would be flowing! We all had a great time!

Can you believe that we survived 3 nights with all of those kids in a log cabin with no major tantrums or accidents? I was and still am amazed! There was one unfortunate incident that involved a yellow jacket and Miss A, but she handled it like a champ!

Things went so smoothly, maybe we'll all make it for another adventure next year!
