Cades Cove Picnic















We loaded up the kids and headed to Cades Cove on Sunday evening for a picnic -- The weather could not have been more gorgeous and the kids always love a picnic. The food was simple -- hotdogs, chips, fruit and yogurt (okay, the yogurt was mostly for Kate -- She ate FOUR cups of it!). Oh, and roasted marshmallows, of course. Doug was telling me before we left Rachel turned to him and said "Daddy, I know we have the most important thing -- Because I checked - Marshmallows!" She is so funny these days with the things she says. After we ate the kids enjoyed playing in the river -- wading in and playing with cups. Noah enjoyed making the yuckiest mud milkshakes possible and then offering us a 'drink'. Rachel of course took a dive and fell over getting herself soaked. Note to self: Still love that I make Noah wear undershirts -- it saves the day for a very wet and cold younger sister! I guess I still need to keep an extra outfit for each of them in the car. All in all it was a great trip - very relaxing and fun. I hope there will be many more of them!
