Then hopped in the car, and took a drive.
Stopping for donuts on the way.
And went hiking to Grotto Falls in the Great Smokey Mountains National Park. 1.4 Miles out and 1.4 Miles back to see a waterfall we could walk behind (only one in the park).
Hike up was good, but the kids started to get tired. Luke complained the whole hike back. The waterfall was really neat and so were the views on the way up and down.
After hiking we went to lunch in downtown Gatlinburg and then took the Anakeesta lift up to the top of the mountain. The kids were definitely thrilled with that - and we saw a baby bear on the way up!
At the top we did a treetop bridge course, played in some treehouses and just enjoyed the view.
What a great, long day!
