Our trip to Gatlinburg

We had such a wonderful time in Gatlinburg this past weekend. We went for the Faith for the Family Married Couple's Retreat. What a refreshing time. Those of you who went, know what I mean! Unlike many others, we took our children with us!! Doesn't seem like much of a couple's retreat, does it? We had so much fun with our kids. We are thankful for the girls that were able to come up with us and watch our kids during the sessions for us.






On Friday afternoon, we took the kids to Fort Fun. They played lazer tag, bumper cars, black light putT- putT and motion rides...some more than once! It was alot of money, but to watch the kids have so much fun was priceless!

They even let Noah drive a car, which I am very thankful for! He was such a blast to watch! I was also quite impressed with his driving skills. It wasn't a steering wheel, but 2 levers to push and pull to go forwards and backwards.

Daddy was out there too with them, but I couldn't get a good picture of him. They were moving and bumping so much, it was difficult to get any pictures!

Black light putt- putt is played in the dark. We had this whole building to ourselves which was alot of fun! The older boys were ahead of us, so I didn't get any pictures of them playing.

This is a picture of my honey with our memorable dolphin!! I love you, honey!

After our fun at Fort Fun, we headed out to get something to eat. It had started raining and since we were walking, we were thankful that Bubba Gump's restaurant wasn't very far away! That was yummy food, and although we shared plates, we all left full and VERY tired! We got back to the hotel, got some baths and Noah and Sarah Joy were down for the night by 7:00 PM! Talk about exhausted! I wished I could do that too, but Ski and I had our sessions to go to! :+)

Look! It's our very own Bubba Noah!!

We stopped at an overlook on our way out of Gatlinburg. Sarah Joy was so tired once again! She had fallen asleep in her car seat and didn't wake up when I took her out, passed her to Caleb, got her back and buckled her back in her seat! Poor baby!

As you can see, in the background is Gatlinburg. As you can also see, the sun was VERY bright!! LOL! We all have these kinds of pictures , don't we?? *snicker*

O Lord, how great are they works! Ps. 92:5
