Cades Cove

This past weekend, Memorial Weekend, we went to Cades Cove and spent the day. We being Malachi, Misty, Mackeinzie, Charlie, Seth, Pamela (Seth's girlfriend) and I. We had a really good time, although Charlie didn't do much walking since he hurt his knee the Thursday before. He was stepping up into the storage building and heard something pop in his knee. We then spent 2 1/2 hours in the emergency room. They took xrays and immobilized it and told him to see an orthopedic specialist. He went to see Dr. Poseman yesterday. He said that he believed it was probably a torn miniscus and they did an MRI. He will get the results on the 8th, but he no longer has to wear the brace. I think he was pleased to see it go.

Anyway, we spent Saturday at Cades Cove. We saw six bear, 2 dear and 3 snakes.

Sorry, no pictures of the snakes. I don't do snake pictures!

You can't take this bunch anywhere, they're always wrestling around.

This is something you won't see often. Malachi turning loose of money so Keinzie could buy a stuffed bear. Keinzie and her stuffed bear.

Malachi's favorite part, the wild boar trap.

We had a picnic lunch at the halfway point, after checking out the gift shop and all the buildings.

Even though there are no pictures of me, I really did go on the trip. I was just always the one making the pictures. After spending the day at Cades Cove, we stopped by Lazy Daze campground to visit with Debbie & Kim who were camping there with some other friends. Karen took this picture of me, Debbie & Kim.
