A few weeks ago, we headed to the Smoky Mountains for a hike on the "Middle Prong Trail." The trail is over 8 miles (4 out, 4 back) but we decided to just do half, since we didn't know how Quinn would do. He actually did wonderfully, and walked about 3 of those 4 miles. Dad carried him in the back pack from time to time. We hiked along a river, picnicked at a waterfall, and had a wonderful time enjoying God's creation.

To me, this scene looked like it was right out of a picture book. |

This old car was right off the trail. We read about it and were glad to find it. |
