Hiking In The Great Smokey National Park!









We left Friday, November 21st for Knoxville. We stopped and spent the night in Macon, GA and then on Saturday made it to Mema's by 1:00. The boys did GREAT in the car and we enjoyed having Granny travel with us.
Today we drove into Gatlinburg and settled into our cabin that we will be in for the next three days. The boys have been SO excited about our trip to the mountains. I feel SO blessed that we are able to have such a wonderful family vacation. We drove to Gatlinburg and arrived at our cabin about noon. I fixed lunch and we decided since it was a GORGEOUS day we would try to enjoy some of the National Park. We took the boys on their first hike! We started out with TJ in the stroller and Tyler in the backpack. Tyler kept saying "my stroller" and TJ wanted to walk. So then Tyler got in the stroller and TJ walked. After a little while longer TJ got in the backpack. We decided that the only combination we didn't have on the hike was ME in the backpack!!! Overall the boys did great and coming down TJ walked the WHOLE way. I was SO proud of him and the waterfall at the end of the hike was WELL worth it. First day in the mountains - LOTS of fun!
