There is a wonderful picnic area just outside the Cades Cove entrance where we have enjoyed many picnics with this family.
Set up is fast - they do this a lot!
Always on the lookout for birds!
Avery and Tyler raced back from their walk to
tell us of a bear siting. The elders had been about
to head out for a walk up the trail so we moved
out quickly!
One of the triplets...
the other two...
and Mom...
not looking happy at our presence so we moved on.
Great siting!! (John had the telephoto on..he wasn't really this close!!)
Some nice mushrooms along the path.
Dylan and the other younger kids spent most of
the time in, over or next to the stream.
It's a peaceful place to be...beautiful. Great day.
