Cades Cove and Rich Mountain Trail

Today was a trip to Cades Cove.  We found a nice spot for a few pictures and then we headed to the Visitor Center.  There was a guy there playing banjo, guitar, dulcimer and a harpsichord.  We bought some tasty pumpkin butter. 

We cut back through the Cove on one of the cut through roads so we could go back and hit Rich Mountain Trail.  It is one of those unpaved not frequented roads :)  We didn't see one other person while on the tail. 

After the trail we headed to one of our favorite restaurants in Pigeon Forge, Huck Finns.  Michael and Anthony got catfish.  Jacob got gator tail!  He even ate the white beans there, he NEVER eats beans!  Michael ate all of his catfish but couldn't eat his mashed potatoes.  It might have as something to do with all the hush puppies they brought us before our meal! 

We got to the cabin a little early so I sat on the balcony off of our bedroom and worked on my play a little.  It was so nice out tonight that eventually all three boys were out there with me :) 

Michael lit the grill and they all made smores :)  We found the really cool special smores marshmallows here at Walmart.  Couldn't kind them at home!

And after loading the pictures for today I realized that Anthony didn't get out of the Jeep when I was taking pictures.
