Great Smoky Mountains National Park, October 2007

We headed up to the mountains to enjoy the change in weather (finally!). Emily didn’t want to look at the camera. She seemed to be distracted by all the other people that were around us.

This was taken at Newfound Gap. Later, we hiked to the top of Clingmans Dome.

Another shot of Emily at the beach. She seemed very curious about what was going on around her.

Emily visited a beach for the first time! We set her down on a beach towel and let her play in the sand along the edge of the towel. She seemed very curious about what was going on around her.

Walden Pond State Reservation, August 2007

Emily doesn’t seem too sure of this wading stuff. What has Mommy gotten her into?

Well, it won’t be long until we have to chase after her when she makes a beeline for the water. 😉
