Gatlinburg Getaway - Friday Night/Saturday

This past weekend we went to Gatlinburg. We've made it a tradition to go for Mommy's birthday since it always fall on a long weekend for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We rented a cabin again with our friend the Mehall's. I was super excited because it had a hot tub again. Here are pictures from our first night.
We loved the "Bunk Bed Room" where we slept.

Mommy and Daddy's room

I loved getting to spend the weekend with Aubrey.


I even helped put Hayden to bed.
The Daddy's enjoyed the outdoor fireplace for a little bit
but it was really cold.

I was so excited for the hot tub!


Saturday was a busy day! We made breakfast at the cabin and relaxed for a little bit, but then we went to a place called Wonder Works. The whole building looked like it was upside down and there were lots of fun things to do. I was brave and tried the rock climbing wall and the ropes course. I didn't really like the ropes course though. Hayden loved exploring and liked playing a touch screen memory game. 
Our room had an arcade game in it.


Breakfast time.

Hayden the astronaut.

This was an interactive game that you stepped on.

We went in the Earthquake Cafe.
Hayden and Mommy waited outside because Hayden
didn't want to do it.

I was brave and tried the rock climbing wall.



This was the hurricane simulator.

We had fun at the Wonder Wall.


Hayden made big bubbles at the bubble
station.

Ready to try the ropes course!


It was dark and went up very high!
We colored these fish, scanned them, and then
they were projected onto the screen and "swam"
around.

There's my fish!

We went to dinner and there was a balloon guy
there. He made another Pluto for Hayden.
I got a black dog and named her Sidney.

We ended the night at "The Island"

We all went on the Ferris Wheel this year.

I really enjoyed it.

Here is the view from the top.
We had a super busy and super fun day!

Happy 4th Birthday!

Yesterday I turned 4! Can you believe it?? 4?!?
We had a fun day and went up to the Mehall's, like we do every year for New Year's. Mommy made another "Little Blue Truck" cake and we went roller skating. Here are lots of pictures from my actual birthday....
Thank you, Oma and Opa, for my
present!

Beep! Beep! Beep!
Hanging out with my best bud, Maddox.

2:56 p.m. The time I was born.
We just happened to be in the parking lot at
the skating rink.
It was cold and windy!

Ready to skate!




It took us a while to get used to skating.
We were skating on our own by the end.


 I insisted on getting popcorn (and it was my
birthday so Mommy got me some. Hee! Hee!)

We enjoyed slushies too.

A yellow car! My favorite!!


The girls got pretty good!


They had a New Year's celebration for kids.

All of these balloons dropped down!
Dinner time! We worked up an appetite skating!

It was a great birthday! Thanks to everyone who took the time out of their day to send me birthday wishes. Love and miss you all!!
