DollyWood

Here we are!

We got there early, it was so nice...

We got to walk around the whole

park before it got crowded.

I got a lot of really good photo's without

having to wait on folks to get by.

This water wheel works the clock

and the other instruments there.

A replica of the old church Dolly use to go to
when she was a little girl.
The "Preacher" gave a pretty good lesson.

Does anyone have $15,000 just laying around?
If so, will you buy me this Carousel??
PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol all kidding aside, I wish I had the money!
I would have bought this!
The person building it still has a while to go
on it, this has taking him 2 months so far.

Russ and I had such a long but fun day!
We went into every shop,
saw almost all the shows,
and rode almost all the rides.
We even took the train here.
If you are going to Dollywood,
make sure you bring a change of clothes!
(if you want to ride the 3 or 4 water rides)
If you have little ones, bring them a swimsuit.
(Lot's of water activity for the little ones)
Tomorrow we are going to go to the river and hang out.
So there might not be but a few if any photos at all.
Till tomorrow!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Oh, I just love my Daddy!

What little girl doesn't!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

See you on Sunday!

Russ and I didn't do much today.

Well, I should say

I DIDN'T DO MUCH TODAY!

Russ got up early this morning

and went for a 40 something

mile bike ride to Cades Cove

and then around it twice!

I tried to get him to take his phone so that

he could take a few photos. Well, He didn't!

And WHAT DO YOU THINK HE SAW!?

A BEAR! And, now I have No photo

to share of it! errrrrr I am gonna get him

When he got back to camp and got all cleaned up,

he took a very LONG nap.

I even took one! I never take naps!

When we got up we went exploring Townsend.

There are more places to eat

than I thought there were!

There isn't much shopping though.

We went to the IGA and bought some

food for lunch and dinner.

When we got back to camp we had hamburgers.

Then later on that evening

(as you can see) I am cooking again..

After dinner we watched a movie.

Nothing to exciting today.

Dollywood is tomorrow!
