Henry Tours the Smokies

---------------------------------
Before we left on our trip to the Smokies, I gave Henry the very important task of being the "official vacation photographer".
--------------------------------------
Things got off to a rough start when I noticed that Henry was using the camera backwards.
------------------------------------
Then his thumb kept getting in the way.
--------------------------------------
I asked Henry to take a picture of us and this is what I got. I didn't realize sock monkeys were so short.
-----------------------------------
Later on in the gift shop, a rubber snake scared Henry, and he dropped the camera and ran!
-----------------------------------

Okay Henry, this isn't working. Why don't you try taking some pictures of some pretty plants?
Um, Henry? Thats poison oak. That also explains why the next 75 pictures are blurry.
-------------------------------------

How about pictures of some wild animals?
Very funny.

Thats better. I think. Henry captured Hank getting viciously attacked by a lightning bug!

But don't worry, Henry saved him! Three cheers for Henry!
----------------------------------------

Okay, how about taking a picture of your favorite view in the park?


What view is this Henry?
Oh. It's the view from the hammock.

Huh?

Whoa!


Lookout Henry!

Splat!


Bad Hank! Henry just saved your life and you flipped him out of the hammock!
------------------------------------

Alright Henry, maybe you can get a picture of a deer!

Uh huh. Well, it is a "deere".
-----------------------------

By day 6, Henry finally got the hang of the camera...mostly.


Henry! You're not supposed to be taking pictures while driving! Oh, Hank took it cause you were honking. My bad.
-------------------------------------


Here's Henry and Hank in front of a nice stream.
--------------------------------------

And Hank posing with a deer.
----------------------------------

Henry has determined that this is one of his ancestor's houses. How's that you ask? They are both named Henry, and Henry also has a "Whitehead". Makes sense, I guess.
--------------------------------

And last, but not least, here's Henry and Hank enjoying a picnic in the park before it was time to leave.
--------------------------------

I hope you have enjoyed your tour of the Smokies with Henry. You will probably never want to visit there again.
