On Saturday we headed to Deep Creek Falls near Bryson City for Gray's first camping trip. I was a little worried about logistics, but it wasn't back country camping so it wasn't too bad. Gray loves being outside [heart singing] so I figured he would have a great time.The camping trip was part of an event with the environmental educators of NC, so we met a few of my friends out there and their families. There were two older girls so Gray was in heaven watching them, and seemed to love having 'the baby' around.
We played in the creek a bit, then hiked around until it was time to eat. We even headed out for dinner- so it wasn't true camping I guess. We had planned to visit the local brewhouse, but it was brewhouse only, no food, so that didn't work. We did fine a decent Italian restaurant though and enjoyed the company before heading back for the campfire and 'smores.
In the morning Gray was up bright and early and was excited to wake up in the tent. He kept reaching out for the sides and doing his excited dance. Even at 5:45 am you can't help but smile and laugh!

Gray hanging out in the hiking pack- thank you Katzman's
I guess being carried around gets tough after awhile
One of the many falls at this section of the park
