2nd Day In The Mountains

Today we drove to Cade's Cove which is part of the National Park where you drive through a 11 mile track of mountains and valleys. Driving down to the Cove is a rocky river that runs parallel with the road which is beautiful. In Cade's Cove ,there are 1800 era homeplaces and churches as well as huge fields and hills where all sorts of wildlife can be seen if you're at the right place at the right time. We didn't see as much wildlife as we have in the past, but it was fun.



We took a horse and carriage ride after we drove through the first time and then we drove through again to see the deer as they come out before dusk. The driver of the carriage let Sarah Katherine sit up from with him to help him drive and she really enjoyed that. We didn't see any deer or bear on the ride, but riding through the creeks and bottoms on a horse and carriage was fun enough for Sarah Katherine.


You can park off the road and walk trails to the old homes and churches. We walked and enjoyed the relaxing scenery and outdoors today. It is so peaceful to not rush life and enjoy it every now and then.

Our work schedules allow us to enjoy our family life and we are very blessed to have that. We take full advantage of what God's given us and thank Him each day.
