We were able to spend the day at Dollywood as a family last week. It was so much fun. The girls and I had a couple of yard sales early on in the summer and we had been saving our money to spend on a fun day together. We decided to go to Dollywood after much thought of how to spend the day and money.
Maddie absolutely loved riding these rides.
The man that worked this ride would squeal like a pig and wave at the children throughout the ride. Maddie thought he was so funny. She would look at me and laugh and say, "He's wavin' at me." She was so funny.
I just thought this picture was hilarious. Abby walked around in this part with Maddie in a harness. There is a splash pad and water guns and such and I did not want to get wet. It was so cute to see Maddie dragging Abby around from thing to thing. Abby is really such a big help to us! You can see the "leash" in this picture.
Abby and Cassy were planning to ride the farris wheel. When they got up next in line, they told Cassy she was not old enough to ride without an adult. Abby still wanted to ride. She is so brave. Cassy was not too disappointed. Mark took her to ride the bumper cars while Abby took her turn on the farris wheel.
This ride is called the "Shooting Star". It takes you up and keeps you there in anticipation and then drops you quickly. It goes up and down to different heights all during the ride. It looked like fun.

Abby, Cassy and I rode the Blazing Fury. It is a small indoor roller coaster. It was Cassy's first time to ride a "big" coaster. She loved it!
We enjoyed ourselves very much and are glad that we had the opportunity.

That looks so fun! One last fling before school starts again, huh? We love Dollywood! But we haven't been in a few years. I'm so glad you got to spend the day together. I love memories of being with my family when we were all little. Your girls will treasure those times.
Glad you got to go...looks like you had fun! We've been so busy, I keep forgetting we have passes we need to take advantage of. We need to make a trip SOON!

Looks like loads of fun! I love family days and would rather spend time with them than anyone else. Making memories is so much fun!

What a fun day! I am having a yard sale this week-end and the kids are selling a LOT of their toys to make money for a yearly pass to the Children's Museum in Cincy.
I love family outings. They produce such sweet memories!
I am glad that you got to have a great day together.
How fun! We had passes last year and the kids LOVED it!
How fun! Glad you got to go as a family! During Youth Congress, baby was sick, so he and I missed out; but everyone else got to go. How we got our tickets... the man who does the rope making demonstrations there every year lives on the same street as us-we are neighbors. He gave us 10 free tickets!! It's a small world! What a BIG blessing!
Wow, Abby is brave! None of my kids would go on the ferris wheel alone...
