Mae Discovers Peanuts in the Shell...
Mae loves peanuts, but she never had to shell them before. It did not take her long to get the hang of it!
We took a 3 hour drive to the Cashiers, NC area to see a few waterfalls. Mark took some beautiful pictures with his new camera!
The above picture is Whitewater Falls in Cashiers, NC. It is the highest falls east of the Mississippi River at 411 feet.
The above picture is Silver Run Falls. It cascades over a 20 to 25 foot high ledge into a beautiful tree-lines pool that also features a sandy beach. It's about a 3 hour drive from home, so we are planning to go back this summer when we can swim!
Pretty dam in Highlands, NC. We parked along the road and Mark jumped out to get a few pictures!
White Oaks Falls. Another pretty falls in the Cashiers area.
Mae is becoming quite the little hiker!
Pamela and Mae are happy to be at the falls!

We stopped at the River's End restaurant for lunch on the way home. There were only a few brave people kayaking, since it was COLD!!

Chinese New Year Pot-Luck Dinner

Mark, Mamie, and Mae went to the Chinese New Year pot-luck dinner with the Lake Norman FCC group. This was our first year going. Good friends, good food, new friends ...We had a great time!
Mae loves arts and crafts. The kids and a few parents made masks and had a parade. Lots of fun!
The finished product.
Mae didn't want to join in on the parade, but it was fun to watch!
