Family Trip to Deep Creek Lake

We took a much needed family trip right after New Attitude to Western Maryland. It was beautiful and we managed to avoid a terribly hot and humid week by being in the mountains. It was a relaxing trip, exciting, sweet and just great. We had been there only an hour, when Carthy came running in, "mama, mama, there's a bear on our deck!!" Thankfully we were all inside and sure enough, there was a brown bear on our deck. I thought it was big, Eric thought it was small. I guess any bear that is only 5 feet away from me is going to seem big. Unfortunately, by the time I erased a few pictures on my camera to free up my memory card, the bear had meandered to the woods. If you look closely at the photo with trees you will see a brown smudge in the middle. That is the bear's hind quarters. So that was the start of our trip.

Another exciting event that happened was that Daisy lost her first tooth! She was so cute and so excited! And the daddy tooth fairy gave her $5!


Jon, Jenni and Carson Smith came up for two nights which was really fun. Eric and Jon had been wanting to take a bike trip for a long time, so they got in some good, manly biking. Thankfully, there were NO trips to the ER. Angels were watching over my husband! I took this picture of Eric for the biography I am going to write about him one day when he is old.
