Happy Labor Day!

I hope everyone has had as fun of a weekend as we have. Kelly & Abbott came over and we spent time in the pool, in the Smokies and watching fireworks. Today we are just taking it easy and enjoying being together. Here's the weekend in pictures.

Jack getting crafty with a generous amount of Mod Podge.

Labor Day weekend wouldn't be right without a dip in the pool. It doesn't matter if it's 75 degrees outside.

The water was a little cold, but they still managed to have a good time.

Jack even did a little "playing in the pool" song.

I mean, the water even looks cold.

Abbott laughs at every little thing Jack does.

What a big boy!

Getting a little help from George in the bubble bath.

He decided to taste the bubbles.

Getting a good bedtime story from Popo.

Sunday morning we got up and went into the Smokies for a rainy hike. We hiked 2.6 miles total to the top of Laurel Falls. It was absolutely beautiful.

What do they see?

Momma bear and 2 cubs. They were close enough to touch. We didn't. :)

These trees had been burned in a fire. Some sides were black and some were still normal tree looking.

If you look closely through the trees you can see the "Smoky" mountains.

I thought this was a cool looking tree.

Come on Abbott, you can do it! He rode most of the way in a sling or on Popo's shoulders but he had to hike some, too.

Kelly & Abbott by the falls.

Me & Jack by the falls.

I could take a million pictures of the mountains and not get tired of it. They are so pretty.

Isn't he a cute hiker?

Before we went to the fireworks Sunday night we had a good dinner of hamburgers and hot dogs. Abbott has discovered ketchup and he loves it with everything. It also tastes better if it's all over your hands and face.

Jack enjoys a good hot dog, too.

Jack & Popo waiting for the fireworks to start.

The 2 cutest boys at Boomsday.

Popo & Moma Jo waiting. We had to wait about 2 hours from the time we got there, so we had some time to kill.

Sharing a frozen lemonade.

Hippy Popo.

Hippy Abbott.

And Hippy Jack.

These will not do the fireworks justice. They are the best I've ever seen.


The shoot them over a bridge over the Tennessee River so they have fireworks coming up from the water and off the bridge. It is really cool.

They do a waterfall of fireworks over the bridge.

Hope you had a good Labor Day Weekend!
