We just got back from Cherokee, NC where we spent five days in a Jellystone RV Park (you know, Yogi and Boo Boo?). It was quite a departure from the RV parks Jim and I stayed in on our trip out west.
We all had a great time even though it rained everyday the first three days. As you can tell from the photos, Lani, Kayla, and Rylan spent a great deal of time on the river that ran by the campground.
We did take time to take a trip down the Tuckaseegee River. Unfortunately, it was not running very high and so the rapids weren't as exciting as we would have liked. Jim, Jean, and I all did a lousy job of putting sunscreen on our legs (Jean didn't put any at all) and so each of us had some burned spots.
The children also enjoyed watching movies in the Yogi Theater. Rylan enjoyed taking long, hot showers after freezing his little tush off in the river. Lani and Kayla came away with a few scrapes and bruises from losing their floats, but they kept going back for more.
We all enjoyed several rousing games of Uno and had time one evening for a campfire and roasted marshmallows. Rylan met and talked to just about everybody in the entire campground. Lani, Kayla, and Aunt Dede climbed Mingo Falls. But those photos are on Kayla's camera. Rylan finally got to fish when a young man in the campground made a little fishing pole for him. Rylan laid his pole down for a couple of minutes and when he picked it up, there was a four inch crawdad clinging to the hook.
We all did really well in the RV, even with two good sized dogs. We ate most meals in the RV and Jim grilled out a couple of times.
All in all, I think we came away with some terrific memories.
