We are back from Tennessee now, and will post pictures as soon as they are downloaded from both cameras. From the 2nd story porch of our cabin we could see the Smoky Mountains. There are no words to describe the beauty of God’s creation. I can’t wait to see Heaven! While on the roaring fork auto tour we stopped, and hiked up the mountain to Grotto Falls. By the time we reached the falls it was nearly dark. So, remembering all of the bears we saw (while still in the van), Dad thought it a good idea to leave. Quickly, but not before getting some great pictures of the waterfall. After much hiking, singing, laughing, and making noise, we safely made it back to the van.

Our vacation ended much too soon, as everyone agrees. But we were thankful we had the opportunity to see the Great Smoky Mountains, and even go to the the Cherokee Indian Reservation in North Carolina.
