We had a great time in Gatlinburg with Matt's family. Ethan was a bit fussy this week and I almost threw him in the shark tank at the Ripley's Aquarium (so just kidding!). I think this month of traveling is tuckering him out. I know we all we be glad when August gets here and we slow down a bit...but we need to have 1 more fun week at camp and then we'll think about that.
Anyhow, this week we shopped, ate, went to Cade's Cove, went to the aquarium, played cards, went to the pool, and just enjoyed family. Cade's Cove is a neat park that has about a 7 mile road through a historical settlement where people lived in the 1820's. Along the way you stop at their old churches, cabins, and barns to tour it. It is a sectioned off state park so you see wildlife and beautiful mountain scenery. That is where we saw a mother bear and her cub running through a field. Ethan's favorite part of the trip was climbing up and down the house stairs with his Granddaddy and following his cousin Jackson ("Jacks" as he calls him) all around. Here are some pictures from the week.

I am glad you had such a great time! I love the picture of you and Matt in the tree and the one of the four boys...too cute. If I don't see you in the morning, have a great week at camp!
I'm glad you had a good time. You guys are some super busy people! Maybe once you come back, we can hang out. Have fun at camp!
