Gone Camping!

Great Smokey Mountains National Park


Fall is my favorite time of the year. I love to look at the leaves changing colors and watch as they fall from the trees. Each year, we try to take at least one or two trips to the mountains during the fall to go camping and see the beautiful landscape.

Trevor is out of school Monday and Tuesday of next week and we decided to take advantage of it by spending the long weekend in the mountains. Todd left today and headed to the Great Smokey Mountains. He is meeting Greg there to set up camp and the rest of us are leaving in the morning to meet him. We have a favorite spot in the National Park that we like to go. It is the Deep Creek campground. Todd said that they got a campsite on the water, so it will be nice. I love to hear the water flowing in the night while I am in the tent. It is so peaceful and relaxing.

James calls our campground "Hot Creek". He is so funny! He is beyond excited about going camping. He loves it. It is really a big deal to him. I am so glad that Todd is involved with Trevor and James and takes them to do the outdoor things. They enjoy being outdoors and doing all of the camping, hiking, fishing, etc. activities that they can. Nana and Pup are even going with us this time. I'll be sure to post some pictures when we get back!
