Our camping trip to the Great Smoky Mountains...
We met Jenny and Ben there, so the kids got to enjoy their cousins. Matt (Ben's brother) and Julie Mizukawa also met us there from Nashville. We had a great time!

Our cute cabin that had bunk beds and electricity. It made things a little easier with Henry. We stayed in Gatlinburg, Tennessee and drove into the national park as far as Cherokee, North Carolina for hiking and site seeing. (And for the record, both Mizukawa families pitched tents - so they are the better campers!)

We got home and Henry was just smiling at us like he hadn't been in the car for 5 hours.

How Fun!!!!!! And cabins make camping so much easier, I'm sure especially with a baby! We sure miss you guys! Henry is just darling! He is getting big and has such a cute smile.
Em I am so jealous! I can't beleive that you were actually inside NC State lines! It looks like y'all had a great time!
Love you!
How fun!
Looks like lots of fun. Camping with a baby is always fun.
WOW! I can't believe you did all that with so many little ones. You are my hero! Do share where you stayed! We are always looking for good camping places! If you are up to it... we would love to meet you camping there sometime!
Oh Emily Gatlinburg was one of our absolute favorite places. We had wanted to do Dollyworld but didn't have the funds but we stayed at a hotel and messed around Gatlinburg and went to the awesome Ripley's aquarium there. The Smoky Mountains are amazing. It is such a fun place. We went a couple of times for spring break. It looks like you had such an amazing trip. I'm glad you are all doing so well.
You look great and Henry is a cute little guy. We miss your sweet little family. I wish we'd had more time with you guys.
