Grandfather Mountain

One of the nice things about living in the high country is being so close to state parks, beautiful hiking trails and tons of outdoor activities. Now that the weather has finally gotten nice, it's time to get out there and enjoy!  We went with our cousins and Grammy and DeDat to Grandfather Mountain State Park. They have a wildlife preservation with bears, eagles and other mountain animals, along with a museum. 

The bears....this was Ollie's favorite. It's by far the best attraction at the park

Checking out the other bear den

The views up there sure are nice

Looking at the eagles, you can see one over Ollie's right shoulder

Ollie and the girls trying to spot some animals, they did not come out and great us :-(

Our attempt at getting a group pic of all the cousins...not bad

Hugging on the bears inside the museum

We had a fun time seeing all the animals and hanging with the fam!
