Summer 2008

Silas has been a Great traveller, and had loads of fun.

Campground in Gatlinburg, Tennessee had these pedal cars

The stream was the favorite place for catching critters

Some critters are dressed in green

Here we are on top of the Smokey Mountains, on the Appalachian trail

High Hampton Inn , North Carolina - it was a long hike to get to this tree

The gathering at High Hampton was to celebrate Great Great Uncle Tom's 90th. We all had pencil thin moustaches for the Birthday dinner, in honor of Uncle Tom. All totaled, there were 50 people who came to celebrate Uncle Tom.

Lots of hiking, bridges, logs, and so much beautiful green colors

After a 3 mile hike, Who is more tired?

Everyone cleaned up well for dinner - the food was great

The large mountain in the background is what we hiked up.

The next picture is looking back at the Lodge

The lodge looks pretty small from up here
