Visiting Uncle Tuck-part 1

This past weekend we loaded the car up and headed for the mountains for E. Tenn. The boys and I went on Thursday with my parents and stopped for dinner in K-town with Uncle Tuck. Tuck took us to the "old city" for a yummy dinner and ice cream treats. What a crew! Only grandparents would allow each child under 4 to have their own ice cream cone. So fun!!

We then left Tuck and headed to the mountains to find our cabin. Nate made it later that night and we woke up Friday ready to face any adventure. First stop was Grandmothers Kitchen for breakfast and then the Towns.end Old Timers Festival. Several nice treasures were found here, but can not be discussed b/c they may make an appearance around Halloween.

We then headed over to Cades Cove* for an afternoon drive. I had to include this pic, b/c it shows the rear of the only bear we saw all weekend. My camera is pretty janky and missed all but the end of the bear. Oh well, my 3 boys were so pumped!!

Later on Friday nite, Tuck and Brad came up for a big steak dinner and ice cream. All they did was eat, wow to be in college again. Pretty sure they had not eaten in several weeks and tried to catch up with us. We loved having them around.

This is just one of many dips in the "hot pool" that my crew took. Usually they were in by 8 each morning, but they never stayed longer than about 3 mins. The cabin was great and Grandmo did a great job feeding us all.
