We had the MOST beautiful Sunday afternoon at Lake Watauga. We ended up hiking close to 2 miles, we think! Lily did great. As you will see from the pictures, playing at the water's edge was the highlight for her. 
She also stopped to smell the flowers a few times and play in the creek.
she has the prettiest little pony tail!
She also grew very fond of this leaf that dad picked for her, which she called a "fedder"
My little hiker - so proud!
love this face.
just some rock-throwin'
she's four, so getting all the way in the water is inevitable, we have learned....
the wet monster is getting dad!
now Lily is a teacher, teaching us about "fedders"
all in all, such a beautiful afternoon....
