On Top of Old Smokey . . .
Vacation over Memorial Weekend in the Great Smokey Mountains National
Park. This was at the observation point on top of the mountain, a high
point along the Appalachian Trail.
Earlier in the week, we joined my cousins in Knoxville,
Tennessee for the Global Finals of Destination
Imagination. Jimmy and Corey lead their team to a 16th
place finish in the Middle School category. |
We took a nice driving tour through Cades
Cove.
Can you believe I have my own Cove . . . |
We hiked up to the Rainbow
Falls, and I wouldn't let Daddy carry me in the backpack even once! |
Hiking the Appalachian
Trail |
Ouw-whee: note the Gash in my Forehead that is just
healing. Daddy thought I was playing tag when I ran towards him; he
moved just as I leaned in for a Hug. Result: fell into the corner of
the Kitchen Island and got my first really good BooBoo. . . |
Getting a good start on my Morning.
Waffles and a ride on the Roller Coaster. |
Look Daddy, I can drive the car just like you!
Can I have the Keys now? |
Helping Mommy make Brownies. |
I really like these Wagon Wheels |
Taking another turn on the Laptop |
Daddy has some big shoes to fill! |
Crashed after Swimming. Those last Molars are coming in and
causing a bit of distress. |
Checking the Officer's Equipment before the Independence Day parade at
Gramma's House |
Cooling off before Fireworks at the Fennesy ranch |
Mommy finally agreed to let me jump off the Diving Board, and Daddy
(lower right) was there to help me swim back to shore. . . . |
Thinking about taking a Plunge |
Here I go!!!!! Too fast for the Camera. |
