Great Smokey Mountains

One of the best things we did on our honeymoon was visit the Great Smokey Mountains. It was the first time both of us remembered seeing real mountains. We took a ride up a lift and got "stuck" because of a storm. But it made for some super cool pictures.

Josh had a great time taking pictures as this cloud come up out of the valley and rolled over this hill.

Sibs

I used to look at Grandma Cook's sibling picture and try to figure out the Great Aunts' and Uncles' names. I remember learning the boys by how much/little hair they had. I only knew the girls because I could remember meeting them. 

I wonder how our grandkids will tell us apart in fifty years?

Girls

Judith and the kids are here for a summer visit. Kaelyn and Janessa came over to my house for an afternoon play date. The ohhhs and ahhs over the doll house were fabulous.

My favorite quote of the day was regarding the bathroom. One of the girls asked to use it, but when she saw it (its still in a rough state) she turned around and said very sweetly, "I guess I'll just hold it."
