A Fall Trip!

Dear Readers,

We had the privilege to go with some wonderful friends to North Carolina to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park in Cataloochee North Carolina to see the elk and hear them "bugle"!!  We got to see a lot of elk and some really close which was sooooooo exciting!!! Plus we got to see some historic places such as an old house and church ect.  and also fellowship with our wonderful friends :)

The beautiful view of the mountains!

The creek 

We got to visit an old house which was on the property.

The kids with one of the friends
The picture quality isn't the best :( 


The house from the street

There was the beautiful barn across the house and of course my mother (and theirs) wanted a picture :)



A beautiful church! This church had wonderful acoustics and we had so much fun singing in it!

Now I'm sure you dyeing to see some pictures of the elk so here you go! 

This is a male elk, he was huge! 

This one loved getting the attention of the people.
(He would stand there and eat maybe look for a moment at us and continue eating)


We saw some female elk but it was to dark to take pictures  :(  I'm sorry!
This elk really was bothering my mom!!!!!!!!!!!  :0


As the sun began to set we started our trip home, we had so much fun and were blessed to spend time with our friends and to see God's awesome creation!!!! I hope you have enjoyed the pictures! Also Happy Fall Y'all!!!!!!!!

Your Friend,

We often take our home for granted. But when we steep ourselves in our home, a deep sense of place begins to emerge...Our homes will only be generous and nurturing as the effort we invest in them.  All family members will carry the atmosphere we create in our homes for the rest of their lives." A RECIPE FOR A HAPPY HOME Half a cup of friendship, and a cup of thoughtfulness, creamed together with a pinch of powered tenderness, very lightly beaten in a bowl of loyalty with a cup of faith, one of hope, and one of charity. Be sure to add a spoonful of gaiety that sings, also the ability to laugh at the little things. Moisten with sudden tears of heartfelt sympathy, bake in good-natured ...

Apple Crisp Delight
