We're off to the Smokies (part 1)

Well, we always gotta start the trip off right!!
We always say it's not a "Real" trip until we get a flat..
So now we should be smooth sailing;/
(If only we had a boat)



First stop on the trip is (drum roll please)....
"The Red, White, and Bluegrass Festival in Morganton, North Carolina"!!!

There was LOTS and LOTS of swimming in the river next to the campground!!
Levi and Jonny being, Levi and Jonny.... Uh, yeah....
Sweet Mary livin' the dream:)
And Jonny again, heading down to the festival grounds!!
"Cotton Candy, here I come!!"
Getting a little practicing in, in the air conditioned camper....
What a bunch of wimps!
"Steppin' on the Clouds, We'll See Jesus...."
Listening to some Gooooood pickin':)
Hot times for sure!!(105 deg.)
"This sun is chafing my sensitive skin!!"
The first group of tubers:) Having a BLAST!!!
Life's to short not to take time to stop and smell the roses...
At the McIntosh's humble abode, getting ready to go to church.
Oooooooohhhhh Joy!!!! This is the life!!!!!!
Mrs. Mac's Gorgeous flowers...
She had them growing ALL over her yard:)
So perty!

While getting ready for church we popped in a quick photo shoot...
(And people wonder why we're always late for church...(wink))


....
....
....
Welcome to Mount Sheba Baptist Church!!!
Smiles all around =D
And more an more smiles!
"Make a joyful noise unto the LORD,
all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise."
Psalm 98:4
This picture really has nothing to do with anything....
But in case you wanted to know, these are my favorite shoes in the world!!!
Comfort at it's finest;) (Other than no shoes of course;)
We're back at the campground again, listening to some more good ole pickin' and a grinnin'...
Working on a "Cathedral window quilt.."
Now we pop over to...."Table Rock" for a hike up to see God's beautiful creation...
On the way up we found this cave full of .....cave.....things...!!! AHHHHH....
The mountains declare His majesty....
James having a blast!
They've made it to the top!! "Hey, I can see my house from here..."
But GASP!!!! She's goin' down....
(Momma was so glad to know her children were using all the safety rules....)
Even Mr. Rice made it all the way to the top!


Tommy Toes  and Gampense..
Karate Liv...;)
!a
She's up, she's up!!!
Soaking up the mountain air...
Are we "Rock" stars, or are we "Rock" stars!!!!????
Ta da!!!
"I caught a fish and it was THIS BIG!!! WOW!!!"
Gabe's got "Gimme Hands"...????
Aren't we so cute doin' our little poses
Practicing our flying for the migration south...

What a great post and a fun time!! :D I must confess that I was secretly hoping that somehow the Pollock crew would end up in the Ozarks towards the end of the trip, but it looks like yall had plenty to squeeze in for one trip!! ;)

Loved all the mountain pictures. :) Nothing like mountains...! So gorgeous, and it looks like yall found a great spot. Loved all the creative poses. :D :D :D I can't even decide which picture was my favorite. :P

Looks like yall had a humdinger of a time, and thankful your journey was safe! Can't wait for "Part 2." :D

Love,
