Biking in Cade's Cove

A few weekends ago Greg and I traveled to TN for a big Dahl get-together. Greg's dad, Tom, invited his brothers Eric and Phil to Oak Ridge for a family reunion. We went biking at Cade's Cove, an authentic pioneer settlement from the 1800s in the Smoky Mountains, Saturday morning.
Here we are at 8am, pretty much freezing to death.


Eric, Phil and Tom Dahl: Brothers!


The gang before the bike ride.

The scenery was incredible. The Smoky Mountains are especially beautiful in the early morning hours!


Tommy pulling two of his four boys.



Ty rode the entire 13 miles!




And so did Alex!




And so did Tom!



It was no big deal for Matt, who was pulling 11-month-old Quinn along but could have basically been pulling all of us as well.


Alex, Tommy, Hannah, Greg and Bryce taking a break.


Greg says I have perfect form!



Cousins: Tommy, Krista and Greg of the Tom Dahl Clan, and Emma and Bryce of the Phil Dahl Clan

The Kids


The whole group, with the addition of Betty (Greg's Mom) and Grandma Dahl (Tom, Phil and Eric's mom)



I think these two look remarkably like cousins, probably because they are.

Four cutest nephews

Tom and his sons, Greg and Tommy (we missed you David!)

Grandma Dahl and her boys

Me, Greg, and Grandma Dahl, world's best Grandma!
