Our final hike in the Smokies was a short one, but absolutely beautiful.  Walking down a raging, roaring river can renew your soul, you know.  Even if you’re a kid- The rippling and bubbling and swooshing of the water mixed with the sun on your face and the birds in the trees works magic even on an old soul.  I’m so grateful to God for the time he gave us as a family in the mountains.
