family vacation to Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, TN day 1 and 2

going down...yikes!!


ella and weston got to admire the view from the viewfinder.

the view from the top was gorgeous!
on our way up!

i videoed on the way up sky lift and chad took pictures. on the way down, we switched. i'm not gonna lie, i was a little terrified! it was so high up and the space between us and the bar was huge! i thought i was going to lose my purse several times and going down, i thought i would lose ella! she decided to lay down with her legs hanging off the side! i nearly had a heart attack!
this is quite possibly one of my favorite pics of the kids! it just might be next year's christmas card:o)
and chad went to the moon!
ella rode a motorcyle...
weston and i climbed the rock wall. i made it to the top and was a little freaked out coming down. my fear of falling was really tested this week!
a picture of the ceiling in wonderworks. everything was upside down and the fact that it was all cracked really bothered ella. i think she thought it was going to fall down.
on our first day in pigeon forge/gatlinburg, we decided to explore our surroundings a little. we took the kids to wonderworks (http://www.wonderworkstn.com/) . it was such an awesome museum for the kids; totally hands-on and did a great job of keeping them entertained! i would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the gatlinburg, tn area!

the outside of the indoor waterpark...
we made it!! we stayed at wilderness at the smokies in sevierville, tn (http://www.wildernessatthesmokies.com/). it has an amazing indoor waterpark complete with a wave pool, a surf rider, 6 waterslides, 2 hot tubs and 2 kids areas. the kids had a blast! it was perfect too, because our room was right down the hall from it!

when ella turned 3, we cut her nigh-night in half. now she swaps between the 2 halves always choosing the "yucky, stinky one" to suck on. i thought this was funny:o) we put the yucky one in the window to block the sun and even the clean one was on her lap, she fell asleep with the gross one in her mouth.
