This time, we got the kids their own seats on the airplane and brought the carseats with us. It proved to be an excellent choice all around! (Much better than the last "on the lap" trip to Park City!!)
We were truly a sight to see schlepping through the airport. Bob and I each had on a backpack, we carried both carseats and pushed the kids in the jogger stroller. Thank goodness for curbside check in!
We flew to Asheville, NC and then drove about 40 miles to Maggie Valley. Bob's parents rented an amazing house there for all of us. It was great because the kids were able to have their own bedrooms and we had a nice space to ourselves as well.
The house we were in had an amazing deck area that we all loved. For the adults, it was a great place to sit, relax and gaze at awesome mountain scenery. For the kids, it was a whole new world to explore.
While we were there, we did a ton of hiking. Luckily, the kids loved riding in the hiking backpacks. Bob and I each strapped a kid on our backs and off we went! The first day we were there, we did a low key hike just to get the lay of the land and see what we could handle with kids in tow. It went so well, that the next day we took it up a notch!
Off to Newfound Gap we went. We drove about an hour in the car (entertaining 2 toddlers for that amount of time is always a treat! HA!) and at our destination, had a picnic lunch. The kids nibbled on 
some goldfish and crawled around!

We then set off for a hike. The whole front end of it was uphill, but kind of a fun challenge and super pretty! The kids were loving the ride. Madison was talking and giggling and Riley was reaching for all the tree leaves and branches. Too cute!
