The smokey mountains-part 2

Nana J and Papa Dave just kept pulling out presents and things for the kids to do.  Yes they spoiled the kids, and they loved it.  Maddie is coloring a picture here.

 Talking to Nana J and Papa while making dinner
 The kids played and played together, it was so much fun.  
 This is what our meal table looked like. It was awesome!
 The girls showing off their works of art.
 Our rooms had these HUGE jacuzzi tubs, the kids used them as a playground.
 Spending some time with Papa and Nana J


 Of course everynight we pulled out the games.  I think Da and Grant and Scott pulled some pretty late nights.
 When the grown ups started on the games, we would pull out the kids bed and let them watch a movie, they loved this trip so much.  Maddie is old enough now that she preferred to play games with the adults.  
 Look at the view, pretty amazing


 More pictures of the hike




They had a pretty cool indoor water park that Liz scored free tickets for.  We all had a pretty good time there.   Maddie and Alex pretty much lived on the water slides, they really hit it off on this trip. 
 Relaxing......

 We also went up to the ski mountain slopes and took the ski lift up and rode the alpine slide down.  I loved it, and I am pretty sure everyone else did too.





 We also went and did some hillbilly mini golf. You take this cart up to the top of the hill and mini golf your way down.

 It was the first time our kids had been mini golfing, it was pretty hysterical!

 Taking the cart down

 And enjoying some good ole pizza hut our last night together. 

 We had such a great time!  I really hope that we can do something like this again with ya"ll!!!!!!  We love you all and miss you!

Still sad we couldn't make it, especially after all those fun things and late nights playing games and minigolf and hiking and pizza. All things I love :(
