Lesa woke up to Dillan. I woke up to Lesa, the rest of the kids woke up to me. Ashley’s rash is back – on her back this time. Spent the day in the Smokey Mountain National Park. Started off at the Townsend entrance sign, then some little overlook with a small waterfall in the background. The Sinks were next, it’s kind of a shame the kids couldn’t explore on the rocks and stuff like Lesa and I did the last time we were here but it was also kind of a relief. Next was Laurel Falls, might have been too much but the kids were troopers and made it all the way. Again, the danger level was high for kids and it scared the crap out of me/us. They have no concept of the danger. Everyone was hungry by that time so we went into Pigeon Forge to eat, chose Shoney’s for no particular reason and ate their buffet, Lesa and kids thought it was good, I thought it was so-so. Went to Newfound Gap and viewed the overlooks their and stood on the Tennessee-North Carolina line. Then we went to Clingman’s Dome, made it too the top. We didn’t do some of the other waterfalls due to traffic which I didn’t really expect to come across nor be so heavy. Ate supper at Waffle House in Maryville, while there Sonja called, her car wouldn’t start, walked her through jump starting her car with the Suburban and our jumper cables. Watched The Flintstone’s Movie on Netflix. Showers for everyone. Kids drove us insane again!
