Dupey the Dog

Dupey the statue lives on the back porch in Linville.  He is named after the real dog, Dupey, who belonged to Arlo's great-grandparents.

Arlo likes to feed Dupey sunflower seeds that have fallen from the birdfeeder.  (Thankfully, this Dupey doesn't bite!!!)

 

 

Clean-up time. 

 

 One of our very favorite playgrounds to visit in the mountains is at Cannon Hospital. It is huge and fenced with a lot of slides - all of our favorite things!

 

On this lovely day in August, Charlie and Arlo were both enjoying the slide. :)

Summertime in Linville

Another trip this past August to one of our favorite places. Linville! A visit to Linville wouldn't be complete without...

A golf cart ride (this child will be able to reach the pedals before we know it!)

Meals out on the deck.

A visit to the playground in Blowing Rock.

Arlo's first trip to Kilwin's.  Ice cream AND fudge, oh my.

A stroll on the (empty) golf course after a hot dog at the 19th hole.

Another visit to see "our" ducks.

And a visit to the Banner Elk playground. (You can never have too many playgrounds when you're 2!)

 

We can't wait to get back there!  Next time we go will likely be as a family of four!!!
