Greg and I have been going there since we were teenagers. It's this beautiful valley tucked deep in the Smokey Mountains. There are homesteads and churches that were built in the 1800's to tour. We always take a picnic lunch and just have a peaceful day.
This year we decided to let the girls play in a creek near the picnic area.
They had an amazing time! The water was so cold but very refreshing. The creek was filled with large boulders and downed trees. It's so neat when the girls have so much fun with nothing more than water, rocks and each other.
They collected smooth stones and watched minnows and water bugs. Even Greg and I got in the creek! Madison took some silly pictures of us that were actually pretty good.
One of the best parts about the day was all the beautiful wild life we saw. We were able to photograph two young does and a gorgeous black bear traipsing through a field.
We also saw several wild turkeys and six point buck but just didn't get the camera out in time.
I hope that we are making memories that the girls will carry with them forever.
That sounds awesome! I'm so glad you guys are having some good family fun!
