Gatlinburg - Day 3

On our third day in Gatlinburg we checked out a place called Anakeesta. We took a chair lift up the mountain. It was so cold that we went in an enclosed one. The view at the top was beautiful and there was even a bridge canopy walk through the trees. It was so cold and a little icy so some of the bridges were difficult. At one point Hayden decided to just slide down on his bottom. Haha! After Anakeesta, the Daddies and the boys went back to the cabin. Mommy, Lindsey, Aubrey, and I enjoyed walking through downtown Gatlinburg and did some shopping. Aubrey and I bought our first magic kits!
Here are lots of pictures from Anakeesta....

Mommy always loves a good photo op!

Hayden was all bundled up and ready for fun!

We enjoyed the big fire pit!

This was a small canopy bridge playground.

The big canopy course was icy!

If you look VERY closely, you can see
Hayden sliding down on his bottom. HaHa!

Family photo!

Fun in downtown Gatlinburg.

We celebrated Mommy's birthday.
We had mini cupcakes and Lindsey had a
gluten free one.

We love our Gatlinburg tradition and look forward to it every year!

Gatlinburg - Day 2

We decided to go back to the aquarium again this year. We loved seeing all of the different kinds of fish and sharks! We also got to see the penguins get fed and we really liked crawling in the tunnels under the water to get really close to the penguins. Here are some pictures from day two...

These fun snowmen were everywhere in Gatlinburg.
