Table Rock Welcomes the Rineharts

This week the Rinehart family was all together for the first time in two and a half years!  We met in Table Rock, South Carolina.  We welcomed Charlie back from his deployment and met his girlfriend (also a Meghan which is fantastic).  Charlie and Quinn drove down from Virginia and John, Sally, and Grandmom drove up from Florida.  We had a spectacular week together.  

Here are a few shots looking out over Caesar's Head:

We went on two hikes during the week.  Here are a few good shots:

Meghan and Charlie...so happy!

Michael, Charlie, and John are in front of a beautiful waterfall, that I somehow managed to completely leave out of the picture. 

Michael and Sally on the "Winds."

Charlie Nash promoted Quinn to captain in front of the whole family.  It was a proud moment for everyone. 


We managed to keep ourselves busy with hikes, games of Cranium, and a few other activities- most especially hunting for the elusive white squirrel.  Hopefully this will become a Rinehart tradition...it was too much fun to be a one time only event! 

John tries to get Grandmom to guess "Karate Kid" using his classic abstract approach. 

Charlie as a tornado.  Sweeeet. 


We enjoyed smores as we told tales of the white squirrel, golden donkeys, and yetis.  A uniquely Rinehart experience.  
 
Meg provided each of us with our own miniature white squirrel...I couldn't think of a more fitting souvenir. 

As you can see below, I had to save the best for last.  The excitement over spotting a few white squirrels at Brevard College is palpable.   We'll never look at squirrels the same way again.
