Day 3 at the Smokys

We headed out early this morning to find some Elk.  The hubby had heard that Catalo0chee was the place to see the elk so off we went.  It was a 2 hour drive as it was on the other end of the park than we were at.  Lots of twists and turns and quite the drive, back roads and all.  We were bound and determined to see some elk.  Well, when we arrived we were quite disappointed, the field was empty.  We thought it would be a drive or loop like Cade's Cove but not quite.  Oh well, we made the most of it.

We did find hundreds of butterflies

Addisyn loved the butterflies and even held onto an injured butterfly for quite some time.

More exploring in the barn

This is where we pulled off for some lunch, little did we know
just down the road there were several picnic table overlooks, oh well, we didn't know

Enjoying our lunch

I love this picture

Our family, minus one, she was being a little stubborn

Wouldn't you know, as soon as we left the visitor center we spotted ourselves an elk.
Not happy it wasn't a male but it was an elk, so after 6 hours we did find an elk.

Another beautiful overlook, Kylynn Joy
