Tennessee Vacation

Jonathan actually had a few days off before starting his second year, so we meet the Moseley family in Tennessee (Pigeon Forge/Sevierville area). They rented an amazing cabin on a secluded mountaintop. But we could still go down and enjoy all the glitzy fun of the strip.
(It's a long post, so stick with me.)


How amazing is that view? Not a bad place to take a nap, I say.

The house had a pool table downstairs. Turns out, Josiah is really good at pool. We were all very entertained as he crawled around putting the balls in the holes, then taking them out. Occasionally tasting them. He scratched a few times and put the 8-ball in prematurely, but the child is only 10 months old.

The house also had a ceiling fan in every room - Josiah's dream house. Da! Da!

Day 1. We all went on a hike in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.

Our family, plus a random child.

"Mom, Aunt Amy's trying to steal my sugar!"

"Ha! Don't worry, I got her hair."

Day 2. The boys went fishing and the girls went outlet shopping. Grammy bought the whole crew cute new stuff.

Josiah had to stick with the girls. Boring!

We took this picture to illustrate the dumb things that children's clothing designers put on t-shirts. This one says "Monkey League Volleyball." So silly.

Josiah helping the girls try on outfits.

Afterward, we met up with the boys for go-carts, arcade games and putt-putt.

Josiah liked this game the best.

Catch a wave.

Redneck family fun

Anna did a great job helping with her nephew.

He thought the gorilla was funny at first, and then he got scared up close.

We swung by Atlanta on the way home and the trip was much longer than anticipated. We drove through Maryville, Blue Ridge and Ellijay (good memories, Carrie-Anne and Lindsay). We had lunch packed with us, but somehow ended up parked at the back of a shopping center to have our little picnic. The view was really great though.

Here are a few sweet pics with Mimi and GP in Atlanta.
