Torrence Family Weekend

Over the 4th of July weekend, Stephen and I visited his family.  We all stayed in a cabin his parents had reserved for us in Fancy Gap, VA; it was great.  It rained for most of the weekend, so most of the vacationers under the age of 8 weren't too thrilled, but it was perfect for me.  The cool, damp air was a great break from the heat we had been experiencing.  Once I discovered the hammock on the front porch, I didn't budge, even when it was storming and I caught a little mist!

We took a ton of pictures then, and a lot of the time, the cameras were passed around, so we were actually able to BE in the some of them! :)  When the sun was shining, we did some great family shots of everybody--so much fun.  Being in the mountains, Steve found himself able to return to some landscape photography, a great love of his.  From the view off the back deck (which was breathtaking, as you can see below) we caught glimpses of several different firework shows.  Here are some of the best representations of the weekend:
