Family Vacation 2013 -- Day 3 (Hiking)

Day 3 was full. We started the day with granola bars and condo entertainment (robot; ninja practice; acrobatics). We then refueled on pancakes and country breakfasts before hiking about 2.5 miles to and from Laurel Falls. (Zane and Vanessa picked up their vacation friends from the pancake restaurant.) We stopped by the Sinks (where Daddy taught Vanessa to cross the river to skip rocks.) And we drove by Meigs Falls. We explored Newfound Gap and hiked up to an observation tower at Clingmans Dome. We claimed two states in  this day's adventure and discovered a new road sign we had never seen before. We concluded with a dip in the pool.
 Can you see Mommy, Vanessa and Zane on far left of ledge?
 Another bear sighting!
