Why The Smoky Mountains Are So GREAT...

  Anyone who knows our family knows that one of our favorite places to be is hiking in the Smoky Mountains.  While we were in Tennessee for Tim's graduation, the Lord blessed us with a few glorious days up in those mountains.

The Smoky Mountains are A GREAT place spend time with your family away from it all...






The Smoky Mountains are A GREAT place to have an adventure:


The Smoky Mountains are A GREAT place to hunt for...

ELK


BEARS

SNAKES  (Ick.)

DEER

BUTTERFLIES

WATERFALLS

The Smoky Mountains are  A GREAT place to spend your 10th birthday...
John's birthday dinner at the Apple Barn:  chicken pot pie, fried chicken, chicken and dumplings, macaroni and cheese, and mashed potatoes with gravy.  Along with apple fritters and chocolate cake.



The Smoky Mountains are A GREAT place to impress your wife & kids with your manly strength...

The Smoky Mountains are A GREAT place to eat like a kid.  (Pancakes shaped like bears & lollipops that match your outfit):


The Smoky Mountains are A GREAT place to try-out a hot tub for the 1st time ever...

The Smoky Mountains are A GREAT place to whittle your first walking stick:
The Smoky Mountains are A GREAT place to have family worship when you're away from your home church: 
(primitive chapel by the creek in Cades Cove)





May the glory of the Lord endure forever; may the Lord rejoice in His works.  He looks at the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and they pour out smoke.  I will sing to the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God while I live.  
-Psalm 104:31-33 HCSB
-Kara
