Gatlinburg

We met our friends Bryce and Suria and their kids, Ryan and Ginger and their kids, Kim and Dan and their kids, and Janelle and her friend Jeff in Gatlinburg. We rented a big chalet in the mountains and it was beautiful. It was so much fun meeting up like that. The adults had fun and the kids had fun. It was a great weekend but went by too fast.


This is the main level living room of the house.

This was our bedroom. There were two bed rooms upstairs, two downstairs and one on the main level.

and of course, the view! I loved to just stand on the deck and take it all in. The fresh mountain air made it that much better.

The ride up the mountain to the house was nothing less than scary. It was this tiny winding road with no guard rails on it. If you were to go off the road, you would surely plummet to your death down the mountain. Can't imagine what its like in the winter.

While we were there, we did a lot of this. Max loved to get in the "hot pool".

Micah worked on his tough man routine and played with this chain.

Jason did some cooking and just a little drinking. he he he.

The kids loved playing outside but we had to really watch them because the yard consisted of the side of a mountain. I was paranoid the kids were going to sneak outside and then need to be air lifted to a level one trauma center.

Ginger wanted to take Max home with her. It was a tempting offer.

Micah was pouting. I don't remember why but this face of his is tragically hilarious.

the kids wasted no time in the morning get down to the business of playing.

Alden is doing something here, just not sure what it is but Charlie liked watching him.

Me and Mr. Micalito.

Max loved hanging out with uncle Ryan.

we went to the water park one day. I really wish I would have brought my camera in because the boys had so much fun but I didn't want to worry about getting it wet so I left it. This is what happened when we got in the car. The boys made it all of 3 seconds before just passing out.

Bryce, Suria, Charlie, Jason, the boys and I went into Gatlinburg the last night we were there. There were a ton of people there but it was really fun just walking around and going into shops.

Max and Charlie played so well together. I wish we lived closer to them!

We found deep fried Oreos in a shop in Gatlinburg. If you are wondering how these tasted, my answer is like a little piece of heaven. Soooooo Good!

Cheese!

No, that's not Jason with Max. Its big foot.
