Gatlinburg, TN




My moms family had a family reunion in Gatlinburg last week.  Unfortunately, we could not get up to see everyone but we did see some of my cousins and my aunt and uncle.  Also, I was able to see my sister Terri and her family for a a bit.  It was a great trip and my kids are all ready asking when we can go back.

Right around the corner from where we were staying was a skiing chalet that they open up in the summer for sledding and other activities.  It was a beautiful place where  my kids had a blast.  We went with my mom and dad first then they wanted to bring their dad back when he came up.

 At the top of the mountain.


The kids loved being able to do all the rides.  This one was inside, they did it once and then they were done with it!  They wanted the ones that were outside and that were fast!
Awe, so sweet, brother and sister riding together.  They can be so sweet to one another when they want! 


The Swing Thing, that is what this was called!

This was a picture from the beginning of the chair lift up.  It freaked me out!  Caitlin did not want to ride with me because I would not let her move.  I told her it was my job to worry about her!


Poppy and B.  Braden loves his Poppy!

Mommy and Caitlin riding in my least favorite ride.


Caitlin loves this one.  I hated it.  I did not like that it was open.  But C does like danger!


Poppy riding with Braden.  They didn't like it either!


Love this.  Can you tell B is mad!  He kept it up the entire ride.


Caitlin and her cousin Grace!


B in the hot tub.



My parents, the kids and I went on a hike.  This is at the start.  They are so happy and full of energy.


Not long after this I was giving B a piggy back ride.



The falls at the end of the hike!




Both kids took of their shoes to wade in the water.  Within seconds Caitlin
"accidently" fell in!

B is very calculated in his steps.  He never got wet!

Finally back!

My laptop crashed a few months ago taking all my pictures with it.  I finally got all my pictures off it and James just got a new laptop, yeah!  So, I can now post pictures to my site again. 

Caitlin had her birthday party at Catch Air.  She had so much fun with all her friends and I liked having it someplace!
 There were so many things for the kids to play with no matter what their age.

 They announced it was Caitlin's birthday and then Hello Kitty came out, she was a bit freaky looking!
 The kids all danced on the dance floor.
 Part of the group that was there.

 I brought a flash drive with pictures of C, they displayed it on the wall for everyone to see.
 Caitlin and some of her friends watching the pictures.

 Happy Birthday Caitlin!

 C and her cousins, all with pink hair
 Not real glass.
 Braden wanted nothing to do with the pink hair, he needed to go do "boy" stuff!
