Summer Vacation 2015: Hiking the Smokies

 We can't  go to the Smokies without doing at least one trail.  We did 3 while we were there, and the boys went on their own adventure while the girls and kids went shopping and hung out.  Grotto Falls was the biggest one the group did, it is a fun one the ends at a waterfall you can walk behind.  Everyone made it with minimal whining and crying.

Nora got to travel in style with her Grovia cloth diapers on vacation, plus they worked great for hiking too!
