A Little Man's Wish....

Okay that title sounded like a "Make-a-Wish" dream or something and heaven forbid 'twere it be the case, but for this wish, Dalin has said for quite some time now that when he grows up he wants to be a Monster Truck Driver and so when the opportunity presented itself to ride in one...could any self-respecting parent pass that up?? (Okay, yes they could but it wasn't actually too expensive, so why not??)

Part Two...Of Course in Opposite Order!!

Just some more beautiful sites to see in the good ol' South!! Have I mentioned yet that I miss Kentucky!! ;) Military Gods..do you hear us?? Change us from the snobby North, and give us the Friendly South!!

Couldn't/Wouldn't Have It

It wouldn't be a vacation for Daddy if he didn't get a good hike or two in, and so we took an entire day and enjoyed the GORGEOUS scenery around the Smoky Mountains...this is a compilation of a few different ones and then I still might have to do another addendum to add a few more...

Hootin', Hollerin', and Grubbin'

Wonderworks had a pkg. deal that included their dinner theatre show and so being the theatre lovin' person that Mom is, and being the food lovin' person that..well everybody was...we decided that we couldn't miss this and boys were we right..the last two pics are when all the kids from the audience got to go up on stage and so you can see my hoodlums there in the mix...Kyle was dragged up there by Destinee but very quickly decided that was not his place and promptly made an exit to Daddy's lap..What would we do without Daddies' laps!!

More Fun Was Had...

The other attraction we chose with the aquarium was WonderWorks...an interactive, very hands-on sciency (you like my new word) museum...what an awesome place..but not many pics for there...they had a rock-climbing wall and a gyroscope and a huge piano, which I do have..let me go put that on here..oops now it's at the top..oh well!! ;) Oh yeah, isn't the building awesome being upside down...everything that was supposed to be on the floor was elaborately put on the ceiling even when you went inside...Awesome place and now it's dinner time!!

Booty Ton Pic Alert...Here We Go!!

Well I've been lazy on uploading pics from our vacate but decided that today was the day...mainly to get away from the dishes and mounds of laundry I need to do..but you guys appreciate my sacrifice for YOU, don't you?? ;) By staying at the particular resort we did in TN, they had a military package that allowed you to pick tickets for two other area attractions as well as enjoying the waterpark they had there...gosh you gotta love the South and their soldier loving attitude!! ;) We chose as one of our visits to go to the Ripley's Aquarium and so instead of $19.95 for adults and $11.95 or something ridiculous for kids, we got in for $10 for all of us..because on top of the two adult tickets we got, then we got the military discount AGAIN and got in for CHEAPO!! (Just as a side note, don't you love the boys matching motorcycle pants in the last pic..oh yeah I made 'em!!) ;)

Vacation's Over...Updates to Come Soon!! ;)

So sad to return home, and you know the saying "I need a vacation from my vacation..." SO not me...I would LOVE to have stayed there a lot longer...is it bad that I don't want to come home?? Anybody else like that or am I just strange??
