We had a wonderful time with family and friends while in the US Christmas 2011. Here are some photos:
Mike and Jukie and Sam and Christine at the Apple Barn in Pigeon Forge. A reward for Sam and Mike after a day of shopping.
Sam really surprised Mike and Julie. We had just arrived in Lynchburg that morning to see Ben and go to church with him. After church we were at a restaurant waiting for a table when Mike walked outside for a minute. He looked down the sidewalk and saw a guy who looked just like Sam. As he got close it was eerie how much this guy looked like Sam. Mike was amazed that there was a guy at LU who looked so much like Sam. It wasn't until he was 25 feet away that Mike realized it WAS Sam. Then Sam walked in and hugged Julie, but she was not looking, focused instead on the menu. She assumed it was Mike but she then realized the hug didn't feel like Mike. She looked up and almost dropped her dentures when she saw Sam.
Celebration of Julie's 61st birthday at Chili's with her boys and new daughter.
The hike to Laurel Falls wore Ben out.
Caleb and Ben finally caught up to Mike at the falls.
The three brothers at the falls. NewYears Eve 2011.
At the trailhead. Ready for adventure.
