From the "unintended benefits of global warming" department, was it a glorious day in Blount Co. or what? It was 80 degrees at our house earlier today. On December 11th. At 5PM, it was still 72 degrees at Springbrook Park. A few more photos after the jump...

Did I mention it was a perfect 72 degrees? On Dec. 11th?

We don't need no foot bridge. We're kids!
