Kathy (daughter)
and her three girls were in for their annual visit from San Antonio and this
was an opportunity for Eric (son) and his two kids to visit with them as well, so
they came down from Baltimore. The
grandkids like to play in the lake and go on a picnic to Cades Cove in the
Smokies.
Bev had
bought them tickets to an amusement place in Pigeon Forge and while they were
doing that, we got things ready and headed for the picnic area. This is our picnic site prior to their
arrival – it’s my favorite one.
Our meal
consisted of the usual hamburgers and potatoes fried in a cast iron pot along
with hot dogs, baked beans, and sliced veggies - potatoes still need to brown a
little.
These are
half slices from our first “Persimmon” slicing tomato.
This is my
plate and I went with a patty melt.
Before and
after the meal, there was the usual playing in the creek.
It was
another successful visit to “The Cove.” Then there's always the playing at the lake time and Bev dressed in my favorite outfit.

Have a great
day and thanks for stopping by Almost Heaven South.

That looks like so much fun.. and so much good food. I like the simple foods... burgers, dogs.. you gotta have those when you are camping!
ReplyDeleteAnd I can see why that is your favorite outfit... she looks fantastic in that dress!!
Ahh what a great time! I love the cousins all playing together. It must have been a wonderful adventure. Haven't been to Cades Cove in years!
ReplyDeleteLarry, It looks like everyone had a terrific time! Laurie and I have been here for 3 Springs now and we have yet to figure out the timing and make it into the mountains to see the rododendrums in bloom! Maybe next year... Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeletethose fun shots of playing in the creek reminds me of my youth and back home as we had a couple of creeks running through our farm and often held picnics by the larger 'water holes' ... looks like all had a good time and the food I know was just as great
ReplyDeleteYour children and grandchildren must enjoy their visits with the two of you. I know I would like the day you just shared with them.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your entire family had a good time at the Cove. I'm just glad you weren't there during yesterday's storm.
ReplyDeleteThat is the spot right across the creek from the campground, right? I have pics of Trevor playing there for the past 5 years, great place!
ReplyDeleteWhat a picnic! Looks like a delicious meal and fun for all. It is great that the whole family is able to get together. The grandchildren will have so many stories to share.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the kids were having a ball & Bev looks beautiful!!
