We just got back from a week long trip to Gatlinburg and it was A.W.E.S.O.M.E.!!!!!!! We rented a chalet near downtown Gatlinburg and made lots of amazing memories! We hiked, rode go carts until we couldn't see straight, ice skated, rode the alpine slide, zip lined, went to Dollywood twice (love!!), and ate some of the best food in the world (mostly fudge!!)!! The kiddos were troopers, especially Mia, there wasn't a night they were in the bed before 10pm and poor Mia had to nap on the go all week. She is such a good baby! I took LOTS of pictures, but here's just a few of the favorites! Can't wait to go back again -- already miss those cool mountain temperatures!!
From the top of Grotto Falls -- it was 1.2 miles both ways -- the kids did so good!!
From the top of Ober Gatlinburg -- lots of rides, the alpine slide and ice skating!!
Good Morning from the Pancake House -- such a yummy breakfast!!
We went to the aquarium in downtown Gatlinburg -- one of the kids favorties!! They had a live mermaid show -- I thought Reese's head may spin off she was so excited!!
Go carts, Go carts, Go carts......a family favorite!! Reese and Charlie were tall enough to drive the little ones by themselves this year!!!
Aunt Kristen finally joined us on Thursday -- Mia was so happy to see her!!
Joe is no fun to ride with -- he will spin you out in a heartbeat!!
Exhausted!!!
One of the scarier things I have done in my life.......zipline. And these weren't little bitty, short lines. These were 1/2 a mile long, 30 story high zip lines. I still get anxious when I think about it. I will not be doing this again. ;)
The kids were such troopers -- they loved every minute of it!
Dollywood -- this was also a family favorite! I had no idea all the fun things they have to do there -- if you get the chance, go, it's wonderful!!
Charlie loved these old mini cars -- He was so happy to be "driving me around!!"
Poppa and Reese drove a golden car -- Reese was not impressed that she didn't get the pink car :(
Loved this little roller coaster!!
Mia fell asleep on the way out of Dollywood our last night -- it was 11pm by this point. Bless. Her. Heart.
Charlie in his Dukes of Hazard shirt in the Dukes of Hazard Go Cart! This is Joe's dream!
We even got Mimi on the Go Carts!!!
Can't go to Gatlinburg without getting a "Fannie Farkle!!"
Joe won this Spiderman for Charlie -- he now sleeps with him everynight!!
