Vacation Time!


We finally went on our first vacation in 3 years!
My parents, Bill and all 3 kids made the drive to Gatlinburg, TN for the week at my parents time share. It was a much needed get away for everyone.

The weather was great, no major issues during the trip. The kids loved the rides and water park. My Mom and I enjoyed a day to ourselves shopping and eating while Bill took care of the kids.

Mack and Laney loved the go carts. Mack just barely made the cut off to ride alone on the adult track but Laney had to have help. She turned that wheel as if she was driving herself.

We even got to visit cousins from my Dad's side of the family, Elane and Carl. Bill enjoyed the TN river and spent the whole day with Carl fishing. Mack got to go tubing and the girls stayed on shore and played with the shells and rocks!








Besides the water park, Mack's favorite vacation event was sifting through buckets of gravel and dirt to find gems and precious stones. It was a good experience for him and it was actually educational.


Laney even got to ride a pony by herself and she became really comfortable in the water kicking around with just an float tube around her.

It was an awesome time and great memories! To be honest, it was very tiring! I might need another vacation real soon!
