Both our classes have been canceled for the last 3 days. This would not have been the case in New England but it has been nice to have more time together to get things organized and play with Notch.

Notch loves to Hike!!! (well, run in circles around us…). we brought a Nikon camera from the mid 1960′s which was recently brought back to life with a new battery for the light meter. The pictures WOULD have been amazing from the first day, but I neglected to release the film before attempting to rewind the roll! So, as result, I exposed the whole thing and ruined it all. That prompted our second trip to Linville the morning after at 5:30 am with cousin Philip. These pictures came out great. The pics below were taken with our digital cameras. The Film was great and will be scanned when we get a chance. Nothing like quality black and white film.
