The Mill and the Wheel

 A few days ago after work, we had the opportunity to make a quick evening trip to Mabry Mill for sunset. Brent has a beautiful picture of Glade Creek Grist Mill in West Virginia that people see and always think is Mabry Mill. 
Now he has an image that is actually Mabry Mill, too. 
 Once we got there the girls made up a song to go with the scenery. It goes:
"The Mill and the Wheel go round and round,
 round and round.
The mill and the wheel go round and round.
 All day long!"
(Sung to the tune of "The Wheels on the Bus".) Try it once, it will be stuck in your head...They have still been singing it all this week too...
 Bekah was willing to let me get a few pictures. Rachel was too busy watching the ducks and picking the dandelions to be interested in pictures.
After sunset, we drove just down the road to Meadows of Dan. There was a local market we stopped by. I didn't realize it at first, but when we walked in I realized Brent and I had been there before. When I was expecting Rachel we went to the mountains of NC and Virginia for a couple of days. Before we even told anyone her name,  I bought her a cup that said "Rachel" from the same market (yes, we still have the cup too). Now we stopped by the same market again about five and a half years later while I am expecting little Bouncy. I thought that was pretty neat!
We also ate supper here at the outside picnic tables
 And finished supper off with a little ice cream!
 We had a great family evening together and Brent, finally, had the chance to get a beautiful shot of Mabry Mill.
