Family Hike

Daddy and his boys at the entrance to his favorite place on earth!
We decided to do the Laurel Falls trail. David and I had done it several years ago before either of the boys came along. It's a good family friendly hike to do with beautiful falls at the end.

Jackson like to stop and play in the mud alot. He was cute- he would stop and squat down down and start jibber-jabbering at the side of the mountain. Wish we could know what he was talking about!
Future mountain climber? He sure liked trying!
Taking a little break on the way up. Both of the boys loved climbing around on the rocks.
Daddy and Noah at the beautiful Laurel Falls. They were especially pretty this time because of all the extra rain that had been going on.
On the way down Noah declared (much to David's delight I'm sure)- "I love the mountains!"
Jackson was one pooped little guy by the time we were done. He walked about the first half on the way up, then we put him in his stroller for the rest of it. On the way down, I got him out and carried him for a little while. He was so tired he kept laying his head over on my shoulder to rest.

One of David's favorite places in Gatlingburg we always stop at- "The Happy Hiker". They carry lots of camping/hiking supplies and it's always a fun place to stop just to look around a bit.
