Too funny!

Since I met the Burgess family many years ago, I heard about the great camping trip to the Smoky Mountains when the boys were growing up. This summer, a second trip was scheduled and we met Steve, Connie and Chris in Tennessee for a great camping weekend. This was my first trip to the area, and it was beautiful - just as they had told me. We had one of the best campsites in the park, right along the river. Willie and Chubbs (cousins!) had fun wrestling and playing fetch in the water. We had great weather and great company - the most important thing for any camping trip.
