A Day in the Smokies

I am not sure if you catch on here that I was thrilled to be in the Smokies but I obviously miss my little sis as well! Susan drove over from NC to spend the day with us. Time went so fast but we did manage to see a lot as we drove and hiked through Smoky Mt. National Park. My older kids became Jr. Rangers again and were busy working on that when we weren't throwing snowballs, hiking on the Appalachian Trail, or posing for pictures! While we were there my Dad had a pacemaker placed. He is now feeling well enough to run the half-marathon with Sue, Sam, and Stephen this weekend! ;) I am grateful today for family and for health.
