Abby took this picture. Not too bad for an eight year old!
We played putt-putt. That was interesting...for about 3 holes :) We did enjoy it although Maddie only carried her putter the first few holes. She mostly wanted to walk all over the rocks and pick up our balls for us...even if we had not hit it in the cup yet :)
The girls rode some rides and go-carts. They were so funny racing. The first ride Cassy was nervous and had decided, while sitting buckled in the car, that she did not want to ride. Mark assured her she would be fine and she was! Grandma, I mean Abby, was puttering around the track. Cassy passed her. Abby said she was going slow because she didn't want to hit the sides. She did speed up the second time though. It was so funny to watch them! Maddie wanted so badly to ride too. She did not think she was too short!
Can you tell she is nervous?
They could hardly see to drive!
Maddie loved this ride! She laughed the whole time!We ate IHOP for supper. This was a highlight for the girls. They ate chocolate pancakes. They serve them cool whip on them in the shape of a smiley face with cherries for eyes. (I should have taken a picture)We made a big deal out of the fact that we were letting them eat chocolate for supper! I told them not to tell their papaw because he would be upset that they had eaten "junk food" for supper. I think they enjoyed it all the more!
We spent the night which was an adventure as well. We are so thankful for the good time we were able to spend together.
(I guess I got carried away with pictures this time. I learned how to add 5 at a time.)
Bring on more days off!!!

That was a great post. Isn't it nice to have a picture of you and Mark together? I meant to have Braden take one of us together at Dollywood the other day. Your pictures are great. I have a similar picture of Bella on her first time riding the go-carts. She was nervous, but then she turned out to be a daredevil! And Evan doesn't think he's too short on some rides too...he actually stands up on his tippy-toes to make himself tall enough! Who would guess they can figure out how to cheat so young?! :o) I enjoyed your update!

You said you didn't have anything interesting to talk about!! I knew I was talking too much!:)
It sounds like you had a wonderful day together as a family. Don't you love making memories? When we were in Pigeon Forge the other week for the funeral and stuff, Isaiah saw those places with all the rides and started laughing "Look!! A Circus!!" It was cute. We promised them that the next time we go, we will try to take on some rides. I love to go-cart myself!! I am very aggressive. Watch out Grandma's!!
Looks like a great day! Love the pictures of the girls...they have grown so much. It makes me feel like a grandmaw! :0)
Stephanie,
These pictures are wonderful! I so enjoyed seeing the great time you got to spend together! You'll have to start having Abby take pictures of you and Mark more often--looks great!
Loved your pictures! We just got some of the same poses last week at Apple Valley. Abby got a great shot of y'all. Ethan takes pictures of us sometimes. Sometimes we even get part of our heads in them:) LOL. Family time is so wonderful!
How fun! All the pictures look great. Does Abby like to take pictures? My nephews, 7 and 8, both LOVE to take pictures!
Don't you wish you could have a mini-vacation like that every week!
Looks like a ton of fun! Great picture of you and Mark...and I also love the one of Mark and the girls-so sweet! I'm glad you had a great time!
