Lunch time in the Smoky Mountains
This picture was taken a long time ago. I'm putting it in for this months category which is scary travel photos. It doesn't look scary but it was very scary. My husband and my three kids and me were sitting here eating lunch when two bears came out of the woods towards the table where we were eating our lunch. The kids were so scared. We all ran to the car. I grabbed my camera and my husband grabbed the video recorder. Taken before the digtal camera era. I had put this one on before but I used the painted effect in the background this time.
The bear had fun eating the cookies and they even drank out of the cups. It was really a kodak moment. My kids still talk about it even though they have really grown up. It was one of our most talked about vacations. My son and husband are no longer here to talk about it. They both passed away over 5 and 6 yrs ago. My daughters and I talk about it still.
