On Day 2 we explored Cade's Cove.
Carter the outdoorsman was well equipped with a head lamp, compass, walking stick, and a gear pack with first aid kit, medications and caribeners.
What a beautiful spot for a picnic!! I know Mike really enjoyed having a spring break to soak up some sun.
My three really enjoyed the time running around in the field. We had a picnic and the kids played tag, ran, jumped and explored.
We had to visit Carter Shield's cabin. It's not very memorable, except for the name. The kids love to tell this story: Dawson asked "Carter, can I have one of your shields?"
While we were at Carter Shield's cabin it was raining while the sun was shining. We let the kids run around in the light sprinkle, and they had a ball.
We didn't see any bear this time, but lots of deer including this little one right next to the road!

Wherever we went, Dawson found sticks to carry around.
We were always on high alert for big foot evidence. Here we found a long stone that they kids dubbed "big foot's finger."
This trip has me so excited for spring to start arriving here!
I love Carter's way of preparing for everything. He will make a great scout. All of the kids enjoy exploring. It is fun to find excitement through their eyes. Meme
