Gatlinburg!!!

Last week the kids and I were in Gatlinburg with Grandma and Grandpa John and John's three sons and their families! It was a great time and we were so blessed to get invited on this little family reunion :) It was quite the undertaking to get 4 of us plus Grandma up to Gatlinburg in the van in one piece. The 11 hour car ride was actually 13 1/2 hours over 2 days and by the time we actually pulled in it was like we had hit the lottery!
first night...bathing was much easier in the condo!
We spent the first day at the pool!

Right off the back porch of our unit was a little creek. I am sure I don't have to tell you how much my kids, Savannah in particular, loved this! She called it the "nature deserve" (attempting to call it a nature preserve).

The next day while all the boys went golfing, the ladies and the kids went into downtown Gatlinburg for some sight seeing.
Our group!! I think we were slightly nuts taking 7 children on a walking tour with only 5 adults but it turned out just fine :)
Josiah and Savannah - they became the best of friends

Kids with guns...oh my!
The first couple days were busy and tiring but over all everything was great! Check back for more Gatlinburg posts :)
