Our Trip

Back at the cabin: Some pictures of what our cabin looked like and some pictures of us around the place



Ripleys Aquarium: AWESOME!!! Brightyn and Hayden both LOVED looking at the fishies. There were some AWESOME and CREEPY sharks. You go on this convayer belt and it takes you under the water in a dome to look up and around at the fish swimming around you.



Little Pigeon River: These are some pictures that Ryan took of this river we drove by on some unpaved roades


Roaring Fork Motor Trail: This is where we saw 2 different black bears (one chased a guy for bothering it over and over) and took some amazing pictures.


Grotto Falls: This was our hike that we went on. It was a lot of fun when I wasn't worried about Brightyn running off the edge of the cliff. At the end there was a really pretty waterfall that you could go behind and play in the pool. Hayden had it made in his carrier and loved every minute of it. He was out by the time we got back to the truck.


Exotic Petting Zoo: We had such a great time here. Brightyn's favorite animals were the goats and reindeer. We didn't get a picture of it but he also fed two camels. Hayden's favorite animals were the goats and Ryan's were the peacocks. Of course the day we got the cutest pictures of Hayden there was something on the mirror of our camera and messed them up so ignore the weird fish figure on Hayden's cheek. Yes he does have a bruise on his head he fell off the bed.


All in all it was a GREAT trip! The boys were good on our way down there and on our way home. Hayden has been fussy just because he's still cutting his 6 teeth and they're just days away from coming through. We didn't want to come home and back to real life but Ryan had scouts on Saturday so we had to :( We're excited to go back down and maybe have a little us time on our next trip. I hope you enjoy the MANY pictures that we took.

HERE WE COME

My sister and her new husband got bored on their honeymoon so they came home way early leaving their open cabin to us!! We are taking off tonight for Gatlinburg, TN. We are so excited to go hiking with the boys in the Smoky Mountains and see all the fun tourist stuff along with having a killer cabin all to ourselves for the next few nights. We are so excited to just get away and enjoy some family time. I don't know if we'll have service to the internet on our lap top but if we don't I'll post some awesome pictures when we get home. LATER TATER!!!
