More Gatlinburg Pics!

On day three of our vacation, we packed up and went hiking through the mountains.  We hiked Laurel Falls and saw one of God's beautiful creations which is a beautiful  water fall coming off the top of a mountain.  It was absolutely beautiful.  The hike up the mountain really tired the boys but it was so worth it when we got to the top!   I've realized  it's the simple things in life like hiking with your family and being together means more to me than any other expensive vacation.  Don't get me wrong, I enjoy vacations on the beach, Disney, etc but give me the mountains ANY DAY!!!!!

Gatlinburg 2009

The past few days have been a complete blast for our family.  We always like to head up to Gatlinburg every year in the fall and enjoy the beauty of the Smoky Mountains.  This year they looked even more magical than ever...not sure what heaven looks like but being up on the tallest mountain in Gatlinburg is definitely HEAVENLY.  This year we ziplined down the mountains and it was AWESOME! I can't believe it, but I actually ziplined too!  Hank is still amazed that I would get 50 feet above ground and zipline from tree to tree.  Cade Carter was so excited about ziplining, but on the other hand, Cam was very reluctant of the idea.  He was tear eyed when they attached the harness to him.  Hank kept telling him that he would be right behind him the whole time...Well, Hank was behind him but he wasn't "right behind' him.  Once Cam got to the other side and noticed his Daddy wasn't with him-he looked over and gave us the "BIGGEST SMILE AND A THUMBS UP."   It was truly an amazing experience and I highly recommend it! 

Then and Now!

Susan (not sure what I am-maybe strawberry shortcake?) Larissa is Holly Hobby!

These pictures are a little blurry, let's face it the one on the top is from 1981-what do you expect? But this is a picture of my first "best friend." She's the first girl I ever knew from a toddler until 35 years later! Larissa and I go back very far...See, I'm the only one who can tell her that Orange Hair is not very becoming...Love ya Rissa!

What a Threesome!

DiDi and Aunt Sarah Move In!

I am very happy to announce that my brother and sister-n-law are finally moved into their new home. We celebrated MiMi's birthday out by the lake. My boys want to move in with them now. They are always wanting to go over to Uncle DiDi's house. It's been fun helping Sarah decorate and unpack all her awesome gifts they received when they got married. Congratulation Dustin and Sarah...(now just make me an aunt in the future...ok, maybe a couple of years! LOL)
