Cades Cove, TN

This past weekend Josh and I headed off to the great smokie mountains to go camping with my sister, brother in law and niece. After moving in to our new place in Birmingham on Friday, we headed out that night and arrived at our destination at about 3:00 Saturday morning. We were all very exhausted although we had little time to rest. Sunday morning we got up early to start our 11 mile bike ride around Cades Cove. The Cove was absolutely beautiful, and we all had a blast looking at all of the different sites and gorgeous mountains! The total 11 miles took us around 6 hours to complete. After we arrived back at camp we were all exhausted, so we relaxed around the campfire and headed back to Birmingham mid-moring on Monday. It was definitely a hectic weekend for us, be it was totally worth it!


This is Ella in her bike carriage. As you can see she loved it and could have gone on for miles!

Josh and Bentley needed a break too.


Josh and I on our way to look at one of the old buildings on the tour.


Ella was such a trooper! She loved looking at all of the old barns and houses. Never once did she cry or complain on this trip.


Bailey (the dog) wasn't allowed in the old buildings, so Josh and Adam took turns keeping him. This was Josh's turn...




Here we are again taking another break, and letting Bailey get a drink from the creek.



All of us together!

Ella eating her lunch. The tall grass made it hard for her to walk in. I lost count of how many times she fell in that field, but it was probably pushing 100.
