Gatlinburg - Day 1


Over spring break we went with friends to visit the Great Smoky Mountains.  Although we had been there less than a year ago, it was a different trip with friends.  We got to explore different areas and the kids had a wonderful time with their friends.  All five kids play together so nicely and keep each other occupied so well.  Seriously, we were together for four days and spent most of the time together and I don't remember breaking up a single squabble.  That's pretty much unheard of!  We are so thankful for these friends and it was wonderful to be able to spend this time together.


Our family in front of Cataract Falls

Ava choose a stuffed fawn as her souvenir, which she named Fawnie.  The boys choose head lamps and walking sticks. 


The reason I brought that up is because FAWNIE BOMB!!  I took this picture while Ava was swinging Fawnie back and forth and she photo bombed me.



At the top of Clingman's Dome

We definitely needed our winter coats that day!  There was still snow covering the ground and poor Ava wouldn't even look at the camera because the wind was blowing and she was freezing.  It was partly cloudy that day but we did get a couple of pretty glimpses of the scenery.


But the view from the parking lot of Clingman's Dome was still spectacular. Look at that blue sky!  Straight out of the camera!

Many more memories to come!
