Maryland Day 4

We decided yesterday that we would go to Swallow Falls. We did a lot of walking, some of us anyway. We also ate at the Sante Fe Grill. It was very good, but the funniest was the bear outside….we just could not resist…..riding a bear! Once again….way to much laughing!                              

The Entrance

WB and Mickey heading out.

Oh boy….steps!

Standing on one of the bluffs, WB is scratching his head, wondering how he is going to make it back up with his bad knee. The walk and the stairs coming down were bad enough for him….so he had to head back to the entrance, poor thing! 

 

What leads down, leads back up!

 

At the top of the fall.

The edge!!!

So pretty!

One of the small falls.

Mickey enjoying the view!

 

This was massive!

Tammie’s pix….I love it!

Mickey and Dee

Tammie

Go Dee!

Holding up the rock!

Dee and me!

 

This cracks me up, but is so typical!

Where WB ended up, after an ice cream and a coke! He had a nap!

 

Retrieving my hubby!

 

 

We saw 2 deer on the way down the mountain!

 

The Fred Flintstone Car

 

A very neat barn that we all wanted to stop and take a picture of!

A new TV

Ok…Dean decided he wanted a new flat screen. They took the old one which still worked, out by the trash….covered it and put a sign that read…..free to a needy family….still works! Well, Dee really wanted to take it home, but they came in her car and it would not fit. Mickey kept telling her they did not need it. They kept bouncing it back and forth…..Mickey said, now look…it says that it is free to NEEDY people, well I guess we need to look needy……so…..

 

Here these two are, trying to look NEEDY!!! More laughing!!!

Dean and Tammie’s Dog---Dewey

Mickey said that this really is not a dog, it is a pony. He told them the people that sold him to them pulled their leg!!! LOL!

He is massive and I can not remember his breed, but they are used to chase Loins and such! Winston worked with him on fetching….he is not a fetching dog and it was quite funny as we watched out the window. When WB would come bring him back inside he would whine through the window and try to get WB’s attention!   Everyone that see’s Dewey stops to take another look. The hair down the middle of his back grows the opposite way!    

Lunch at the Santé Fe

   

Look who is hiding!

 

The three Amigos!

 

Just talking a little bear talk, hmmm!

 

No comment! LOL!

 

Wisp Mountain, where Tammie and family ski in the winter!

Yummy!

      

And then we decided we would take a picture on top of this bear structure! You can not tell in the picture, but his neck and head slant downward! I felt like I was going to fall forward. He also had groves cut into him so he was not smooth and you just could not slide forward!!! Way to much laughing!!! Tons of fun and great friends! For some reason, I think someone had taken a picture here before!

Maryland Day 3

Enjoyed visiting and eating with friends. Later in the day we went for a drive up the mountain to a man-made river rafting complex. It was pretty cool. We say one girl in a canoe…turn over & get turned upside down for a little bit…then the instructor had some problems…hmmm. Took a few pictures!!! If you could have been right here on this rock with these two hilarious girls…oh my….to funny…they can strike some poses, and all I could do was laugh at them…good times !!!

 

 

 

 

 

Maryland Shopping Sunday Afternoon

Tammie, Dee and I did squeeze in a little shopping. The problem was we stopped at the Tourist Trap, and the Christmas Chalet!

Yes….the Christmas Chalet!!! Oh boy…lets just say that I took care of my ornament buying that I do every year. Since my kids were little, they have gotten an ornament every year and when they get married they take them and they have some ornaments for their first tree. 

 

Tammie bought this ornament for me and I love it and every Christmas will think of her as I hang it on my tree! Thank-you Tammie!

 

And these shoes…..I fell in love with….

 

A place to record birth information….

 

and they are just waiting for Bella……come on Bella, can not wait to hold you!!!

Bought many other items, but can’t ruin everyone's surprises!

Another great shop is…

So much fun!!!
