Dollywood - Day 1

*Just a short forewarning, the first half of our holiday is divided into 3 posts. It was hard trimming down almost 100 pictures to these select few. The second half of our vacation will soon follow. *
Finally, we were able to take a much-needed family holiday. The weather was perfect and the foliage was amazing!!! (This was a true answer to prayer as the week before had been our original date; but due to a rainy, cold week, we quickly called the hotel, exchanged dates, and prayed for warm, dry weather.) We spent 4 days in Pigeon Forge enjoying the amusement park, swimming, and even a little shoppping. First ride of the day - the Dizzy Disk:)

("Passengers settle into their seats facing outward for a ride that glides back and forth while simultaneously spinning in circles.")Definitely in MOTION!

I could only handle hauling us up 3x.
Timber Tower

This ride stalled as Sean and Drew were on the way up. They sat there for a few minutes waiting for it to be fixed. If you look very carefully, you can see them on the left. Patiently or is it impatiently? :)
Aidan was such a sweet boy to contentedly stand by and watch as his older brothers, Mommy, and Daddy rode the rides for which he has not quite made the height requirement - he is so close.

I'm glad you guys got to go on a fun family vacation! The boys look like they had a great time riding the rides. They are so cute and I will say it again, I can't believe how BIG they are getting.

How nice that you had a chance to do a family vacation. I would think one of the side perks to home schooling is that you don't have to do the vacations in the summer time!
Your boys are all so cute and Luke is getting so big. He is adorable!! What a blessing that he napped so well on the go. Is this "wool" thing something special that he is attached to?
