Nanny and Papa came to Wild Waters to watch us play in the water and the slides!
Yummy Yummy...eating Fun Dips while playing at the water park!
Here comes Drew....
Here comes Emma...
Here comes Drew and Emma!!!
Well, we can't visit Florida without going to Silver Springs!
I think Drew did a pretty good job of taking this picture!
Being season pass holders we were able to take advantage of a personal snake show! Papa chose to interact in the show and held a boa!
We then took turns holding the gator!
While it's not wild...here is a picture of a Capybara which is called the largest rodent in the world. We think he his the mastermind behind G-Force!
When we arrived at Nanny and Papa's we were greeted by our old bird pals Larry, Curly, and Moe!
Of course, we can't visit Nanny's without throwing something up on the roof!! This time the Nerf Boomerang!
So, we sent Drew up after it!
We made a stop at Stone Mountain...so cleverly named. It's a giant Stone Mountain and it is actually really beautiful!
We went on a "Sky Hike" while we were there. We were all harnessed in and chose to complete the course that is 15 feet above ground. The only downfall was that I have no pictures of the kids completing the course. But below you will find a few pictures of some of the ropes we crossed.
So after confirming my thoughts that my children have little fear~ they wanted to try to climb the wall. Drew did alright and made it about half way up...
Emma- not so much
We had a great weekend in Knoxville with Aunt Shirley and Cassidy.
I think this is my favorite picture of the weekend~
The aquarium in Gatlinburg was excellent.
Okay, I am not sure which is funnier~ the top sign "cause" if there wasn't a deli could you go in without shirt & shoes? or the bottom sign...it speaks for itself
We got a little lost leaving Gatlinburg and ended up at this beautiful overlook at the top the Great Smoky Mountains...
We also found this sign at the top of the mountain :) Oops a "little" lost
The kids played in the water... once we came back down.
A new layout! Let me know what you think. And now since I gave Dennis the password (and he did help find and administer this new template) he thinks that he can just add things to it. Right now he wants me to go upstairs so that he can add gadgets down the side!!!! Hmmm.....I guess that's what I get for suggesting that he help me! Also..he has blog envy of other blogs! I will post his new blog when he creates his own. Until then enjoy his new hobby!
We built a 16'x16' platform in our backyard....
for Drew to enjoy his new basketball hoop!
He is pretty good at basketball. And will give you a challenge in a good game of PIG!
YUMMY YUMMY Ice Cream cake!
Since Norman was unable to come to Drew's Camp Over party we thought that we would take the boys to a Clippers game on Drew's b-day. Apparently, since moving to the Arena District the Clippers sell out! So we watched a bit from outside.
Then we went and played Mini Golf.
YUMMY YUMMY Cookie Cake!
So we all pitched tents and camped in the backyard per Drew's request for his party. Well not all of us slept in tents...wink wink ~ you know who you are
Oh boy.....he loves his new hiking stick from the Williams Family.(Stay tuned for hiking pictures)
and the night vision goggles~ how cool is that!!!!
All the kids had fun with Sparklers!
and here he is the next day!!
