Gatlinburg Getaway - Day 2

Our plan on day 2 was to go to Ober Gatlinburg. We had bought the tickets, were on the tram, and then everything shut down due to high winds. Luckily they refunded our money and we decided to go to the aquarium instead. We've gone there in the past, but it's always fun to see the sharks! Here are pictures from day 2...

A photo op at Ober Gatlinburg. We thought we would
take lots of pictures at Ober Gatlinburg but the wind
had other plans.

Photo op at the aquarium.

We could look down into the shark tank from above.

We just happened to be there for the 
"Penguin Parade".

These fish were huge!

So many fish!

Dory!

Ayla and the clown fish.

Ayla was brave and touched a jellyfish.

Another photo op with a snake!

Seeing the penguins close up.

Ice cream break! Yum!

When we came back from the cabin there was a 
Pitbull coming up the side of the mountain. Since we
didn't know if he was friendly or not, we went inside
and called the cabin company to let them know.

We names him "Blue". He did seem very friendly.

Pretty views at the cabin.

What a fun weekend!

Gatlinburg Getaway - Day 1

We decided to do another Gatlinburg getaway. We went away with our friends the Otto's this time but stayed at the same cabin we always do. It was much less stressful driving up that mountain, know that there wouldn't be any snow.

Mommy and Daddy took Friday off. We left a little after 9 and were able to enjoy some activities in Pigeon Forge. Hayden really wanted to do the wax museum and we ended up buying a pass that included 3 more activities:

1. Castle of Chaos (a 5D show) - That was a lot of fun!

2. Outbreak Dread the Undead - Mommy, Hayden, and I left at the first emergency exit and Daddy continued on his own. We do not like scary/haunted things!

3. Hannah's Maze of Mirrors - This was fun and it was really weird to see ourselves over and over again. We had to wear disposable gloves to that we didn't get finger prints on the mirrors. There were times when we didn't know if was a path or a mirror.

Here are lots of pictures from Day 1...
