After Christmas we made a trip to Gatlinburg with some of daddy’s side of the family. We’ve gone before, but not with the kiddos.
Luckily we had some help.
Messy boy.
No one should look this angry when eating and Oreo.
Ready to head out – jackets required.
Gwynn turning on the fire place. Maybe not the best thing to teach her.
This big boy is heavy!
Uncle Jeremy needs a lot of help learning how to hold a baby.
Better.

Hide and seek in the laundry room.
It was such a good space Gwynn used it too.
“Go away!”
Tuckered out.
We made a trip to the Ripley’s Aquarium one day with the kids, Mimi, Uncle Jeremy and Aunt Julie.

Photo Op.
Luke was unimpressed as usual.
Gwynn enjoyed it though.

The guys.
Gift shop time. The best time.
We also went to our share of pancake houses. Gatlinburg has a ton of them. Since our kids would get up at around 5am Eastern time and everyone else slept late we’d sneak off before the kids woke everyone up.
A pretty aggressive note on the window to one of the pancake houses.
It would still be dark outside when we’d head to the pancake houses.
Gwynn wasn’t quite as awake as her brother. She might have wanted a few more minutes of sleep.
Luke wearing the proper attire – most things in Gatlinburg are bear themed.
Cleaning his plate.
She looks so goofy here.
“They ain’t made a seat that can hold me yet!”
Breakfast is the most popular meal for the kids.
This was supposed to be a bear pancake, but Gwynn took off the nose and made it a Mickey pancake.
We also made a trip to a kind of indoor zoo.
The goats were the best. They terrified mommy.
Is that not the face of evil?

Daddy and Luke posing.
I’m pretty sure that could swallow Gwynn.
One monkey looking at another.
Luke liked the birds because they were so loud, like him.
Mommy really freaked out when Luke touched the goat. She thinks they carry the plague, I think.
Terror incarnate!
