We awoke Saturday to a beautiful morning, there is something about waking up and being surrounded by the peacefulness of nature--its so calming and does a soul good! While the kids were slowly awaking, we went ahead and made breakfast: blueberry pancakes, bacon and cheese potatoes, I could seriously eat these for every. single. meal
A little snuggle time with my girl and hubby. Hunter would not move from that arcade game!
Hayley getting her "bump" going--she loved every minute of it!
These two could seriously pass for sisters
Jimmy decided that he would help clean up and start the dishwasher. There were suds coming out the bottom because silly put the liquid dish soap in there. We all got a good laugh out of this, just more proof that Mary really does do everything in their house!!
We had a game plan: spend the day in Gatlinburg snow tubing, shopping and playing around. The weather was beautiful so we weren't complaining that we couldn't ski (they only had 10" of snow and 2 trails open, so it wasn't worth spending all that money for a little snow and trails).
Hayley wanted to ride with Paige, she is not right. These pictures are from her camera--she is a blogger in training.
Our beautiful kiddos:
Paigey, Hayley, Peyton and Hunter
First stop: Obergatlinburg for the tram, chair lift and Alpine Slide.
We had lots of fun and laughs, people were looking at us like we were crazy, well we are! I am
The only family picture I took all weekend.
The nature exhibit was pretty lame, not many animals and the bears were "hibernating." Good thing this was included in our wristbands!
Brian is OBSESSED with the Moonshine show and wanted to stop and see show the kids hows they made it, it was really cool to see it in person. We had to stop and go in the shop and see all the different types and flavors--they had every flavor you could imagine.
me and my girl, Mary
tasting shine: hunch punch was yummy!
Since the kids weren't old enough for Sine, they had to settle for cokes in glass bottles!
Clear skies and beautiful mountains
LOVE this picture--it speaks a 1000 words
By this point, Hayley was less then thrilled to take a picture with me, she was getting to be too cool!
We were starving after we spent all afternoon on the Mountain so we hit up the Mellow Mushroom for a late lunch. Not our first choice, we really wanted to eat at Dick's Last Resort, but the wait was 45 minutes and you could only order appetizers. The Mushroom was OK, just not the pizza we are used to! While we waited there was this little Blue Grass band that was playing outside, they were SO good--I could of listened to them all day long!
If you only knew the amount of attitude in this picture--LORD HELP US ALL!!
You all know my weakness for Krispy Kreme donuts...I can spot a store a mile away! On the way to town I saw this one and TOLD everyone that we WERE going to stop on the way back thru. My hubby gave in and stopped, he was scared of what may happen to him if he didn't stop!
Oh, the trash talking that began after deciding we'd stop for a little go carting before heading back to the cabin. My boys are EXTREMELY competitive and will even cause bodily harm to win. Poor Mary, found that to be true--she was in the wrong place at the wrong time!! She just has the seat belt burns as a reminder of what fun she had.
Once again we ended the evening with a little pool and hot tub time, a girl could get used to this!
