I heard the choir sing when I saw this in the gift shop

Yep! Had to have this one too!


It was a great week....lots of fun, lots of peaceful cups of coffee on the deck just staring at the beautiful mountain view....It was exactly what we all needed. We had quiet times, we had loud times and we had so much fun! Cant wait til we go again!!
To end this post, I have to show you guys two things....
1- the rainbow that I walked out to....absolutely beautiful!

Family Vacation Destination:Gatlinburg, Tn. (Part 1)

So Im going to be very short in words (fingers crossed).
We took Lucas, he is Zaks best friend and is like an adopted son.
Also, my best friend's niece hopped a ride with us (my bf lives in Tn and her niece was here) on the way down.

Ok so here we go people :)

Packed like sardines~two more kids asleep in the back lol

FINALLY made it to Tennessee


 
after going to kristans house for the night
we went to Micheals family farm where
his dad took the kids in the back of the
truck to feed the cows....
they love it

you can barely see it
but they got to witness
the birth of a calf!
sooo coool!

Just the cutest great nephew ever!
And my beautiful niece Kiki <3

This was the first time I have seen anything like this in Tennessee so it was really exciting for me. Plus, I LOVE the renaissance era and I just thought this was uber cool!
