Katlyn's 1st Trip to the Cove

Every July my family gets together in Cades Cove. Some of my favorite memories as a little girl are in Cades Cove. We used to play in the creek and go around and around the loop looking for bears, deer, and learning about our families history. Now that I have Katlyn to show this beautiful place I look even more forward to our trips there. Katlyn was so precious looking out over the fields and towards the beautiful mountains! I loved our first trip and will always remember it by all the photos we took and the great memories made once again in the place I believe to be one of the most gorgeous places ever! We made our trip around the loop and saw some specks of black moving in the trees that was bears, but why stop if you can't really tell what you are looking at other than moving specks in the trees???? We got up close with a deer that still had fuzz on his antlers. Katlyn probably didn't love us getting in and out of the car, but I just wanted to have photos of her everywhere we went! She did LOVE walking in to the huge fields and I think she was amazed! Matt and I loved watching her and I know my Mom and Grandmaw enjoyed having her with us and watching her check everything out, too! We had our annual cook out and Katlyn enjoyed playing with Brooks, Braden, Ray, Katelyn, and Timmy. She also got to get in the creek for the first time and really enjoyed that. so much she didn't want us to take her out! It was cold, but felt great as hot as it was outside. It's always great to get together with great family and friends and enjoy the outdoors and all it's beauty! I hope Katlyn will always cherish God's beautiful places and see His beauty in every day!

My most favorite photo of all!
I think the perfect caption is: "Wow, Look what God painted!"
