Fall Break in the Mountains

Addie had fall break this week. Chris and I didn't go anywhere this summer and I was ready for a break and to get away from it all!! We decided to take the girls to the the mountains. We left Monday morning and got up there that afternoon. The girls did awesome in the car going and coming thanks to the dvd player!! I bought them a dual screen dvd player from Sams with their birthday money from Nana and Grandpa and it has been a life saver!! We stayed at the Wilderness Resort in Seiverville. This is the resort with the indoor water park. We had a lot of fun. It was a little young for Claire, but she was a trooper.
Tuesday we did the water park and then went to the Dixie Stampede in Pigeon Forge. It was a little cheesy but the food was good and Addie and Claire both loved it. We had to sit on the North Side, which Chris and I weren't real happy about, it just didn't feel right!! Ha
Wednesday we took them to Gatlinburg and it wasn't really that crowded. We went to the Aquarium for several hours and we loved their new penguin display. There was a little penguin that kept following Addie around the tank. She would run and he would dart after her.
Thursday we went back to the water park for the morning and that afternoon we shopped until we couldn't shop anymore!! Dad bought several pocket knifes and I bought my first Coach bag.
Addie wanted to ride the Skylift in Gatlinburg. So, we did, HOWEVER I was a nervous wreck holding Claire and praying Lord, please don't let her try to jump out of this because we will just have to die together.

My two girls outside of the Ole Candy Kitchen!! Yes, I bought lots of taffy, another NARON tradition. Addie liked it a lot.
