We had a great day! We went on a "mountain adventure" with my dad. We drove through Townsend, to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We stopped at a wide place in the river, known as the "Y", and the children and I went wading. There has not been much rain here lately, so the water was a bit down. It was just right for my four adventurers. They all enjoyed splashing and throwing rocks into the river. Anna Grace even tried eating the rocks, but decided the texture was not to her liking! Grand-Bob and Isaac found a crawdad (crawfish if you are in Louisiana). When Isaac first saw it, he said, "Look, there is a lobster!" Isaac carried it around for a while and then threw it back. The water was very cold, but it felt great in the heat!
We continued on our adventure and headed to Cades Cove. We bought hotdogs and ice cream at their camp store. The children thought it was a perfect lunch! We were able to see four deer (there my have been two deer that did some moving around, but we are counting them as four!). Olivia had hoped to see a bear. She had already decided that when we saw one, she would say, "No, no bear, do not grab us!" I was glad she did not have the chance to use her little speech!
We topped off the day with a birthday dinner for Dad. My brother Bo and his girlfriend Lindley joined us for steak and baked potatoes. What a wonderful day!
