Fall Break - Day 4

Day 4, our last day, was all about fun (not that the others weren't).  We started our day at MagiQuest with a Mirror Maze, Pirate glow-in-the-dark Mini Golf, Vault Laser Maze (dodging lasers) and a treasure hunt quest with wands!  Then it was off for Lazer Tag and Go-Carts (and a little bit of arcade games).  The boys were able to drive their own and Morgan was all too happy to ride (drive) with Mom.  The attendant spaced us out enough that there was no bumping or passing possible.






















Our next stop was at a candy shoppe for salt water taffy - Mama was not going to be happy without it!!  Then we headed back to the hotel waterpark and wore the kids out until closing time (8PM) and hit the road for home.

Fall Break - Day 3

Day 3 was all about Dolly - Dollywood & Dixie Stampede.  Not too many pictures were taken, but here's a few.

The first ride was the cars.  Morgan chauffered Dad, Kaden chauffered Mom, and Kolton went solo.

Here's Jamie's famous "What the hell do you want, woman?" look!!






I tried to capture a couple during the ride, but they turned out blurry.  I did note that Morgan was all too eager to take her eyes off the road to wave at Kaden and I, though!


The log ride was a HUGE hit!  The second we hit the water, Morgan said, "Let's go again!"


Dixie Stampede - always a fantastic time!  You'll notice Jamie's face is covered up, he was all funned out and would rather we cover his gloom expression than show it. :D

Fall Break - Day 2

Day 2 was spent mostly in Gatlinburg.  Here's a sign we saw on the strip.
First stop: Ober Gatlinburg.  We rode the sky lift up to the Alpine Slide, where we rode a sled down the mountain.  Bummer that we didn't take pictures, but Morgan rode with Mom and squealed the whole way down.  She kept leaning forward to go faster!  We raced Dad and won, and Kaden beat Kolton down.  I wish I had taken pictures of the boys' faces on the lift, it was almost as fearful as their first ride on the Go-Gator at their first Neewollah!  Oh my, it was fantastic! 

Morgan took a train ride, but wasn't real cooperative for pictures.  The "conductor" finally slowed it to a stop just so she'd turn and look at us!   



Unfortunately, an adult (aged 18+) had to ride the stinking swings with our swing-loving-daughter...and so we both took turns.  Mom was not happy, and had to keep an eye on the shoes the entire time to keep from getting sick.


 Dad's turn.


 Kolton braved a water ride, though he didn't get very wet.
 Enjoying snow cones.
 And a Turkey leg.
After we had our fill of Ober Gatlinburg, we headed down the mountain to Ripley's Aquarium.  Always a hit.
 





 Our good-looking kiddos.


 We headed back to Pigeon Forge for dinner at The Old Mill - MMmmmmm good!!
