Earlier this spring, we had a change in our photography schedule one weekend that allowed us to get to the Great Smoky Mountains for just a couple of days to do a little photography in the mountains.
Our first day there, we spent some time on the creek in the GSMNP.
Allie thought it was loads of fun to sit with me and see her sisters play at the edge of the creek!
After we spent some time exploring around the creek, we headed up to one of the overlooks in the middle of the park to wait for the sunset light.
After a full day, the girls were ready to read some books in their bunks before heading to bed.
We did head to Gatlinburg for part of a morning. Here are the girls outside of Ober Gatlinburg in their bobsled replicas.
We did ride the tram as a treat. It was a beautiful day.
Usually when we have ridden the tram before we just head to the playground at the top of the mountain for some play time. But we found out this time that the playground was closed during our visit. As we were walking back to the tram, a woman stopped me and gave me 4 tickets, 1 for each girl, since her group was getting ready to leave and hadn't used all their tickets. What a sweet surprise for our girls! They each got to pick one ride to enjoy. The big two rode the water raft ride and had fun with it!
Allie Grace got to ride the carousel for her first time and Bethany is always up for a good carousel!
Our last day there, we spent the morning doing photography in Cades Cove.
Such precious promises in this Psalm! It's one of my favorites.
We are got to see this beautiful black bear, who was guarding her cubs up in the tree right beside her. So we definitely did not go too close to her since she had babies very close by.
We made a stop by one more creek as we were driving out of the park. Allie got to stick her toes in the creek for the very first time!
Love these big girls! They are just growing up too fast!
The girls are taking turns learning photography from their Daddy. Bekah was helping take a shot here.
We enjoyed one more mountain sunset before we headed back east. It was a very productive photography trip with several new images to share and some great family memories made!
