Smoky Mountain Vacay

We took our first family vacation to the Great Smoky Mountains.  We could not have gone at a better time.  The weather could not have been more pleasant and autumn had just painted all the trees red, orange and yellow.  It was beautiful.  We also enjoyed our time of rest and relaxation with our two little ones.

This was our view from the awesome cabin my Uncle let us use.

Fortunately for us, Uncle Walker and Aunt Emily kept the girls one night so that Brian and I could enjoy a night together. We were very thankful and much enjoyed our night out, even more so when we came home and both of the girls were sound asleep in their beds!  GREAT job Auntie Em and Uncle Walk.

This was just one of the many beautiful views as we went up and down the mountain.

Our vacation was sadly short-lived... Before we knew it, it was time to pack up and head home!

But we made a few stops on the way home.  First we stopped to let our animal lover, Campbell ride the mini horses..

But, riding the horse deemed less attractive as it was to just look at it and pet it... So off we went.

We saw this little dude in front of one of the gas stations where we stopped.  She got one step ahead from last time by actually getting on the mechanical horse, but as soon as it started moving..she wanted OFF!

But I could not let a good ride go to waste.  SO, me and Adeline jumped on!

And quite frankly, I do not blame Campbell for getting off..That thing really moved!

We also came across this farm stand not too far off the mountain.

There were so many pumpkins of all shapes and sizes!

And soo many apples to choose from as well.

But the girls were tired..so it was time to head home.

I stole these two pictures from my SIL, Emily, her pictures turned out much better than mine. :)

We had a great time, and I hope it won't be too long before we have another chance to get away!
