Summer Vacation 2011 ---- Pigeon Forge, TN

We went on our family vacation last week to Pigeon Forge, TN.  We had a great time!  We stay at the Wilderness in the Smokies Resort and it was great!  It was a resort with three water parks (one indoor), putt-putt course, polk-a-dot pottery, restaurants, and much more.  If you have kids this is the place to stay!  We did not leave the resort but two time.  One time was to eat at the Outback and the girls and I went to Ripley's Aquarium the last night while Kaden and Brian stayed at the resort because Kaden was not feeling very well (he started running fever the last two days of vacation).  We return on Sunday and he was at the doctor on Monday morning but we still had a great vacation.

Sesame Street Live

Last week, before we left for vacation Kaden and I went to Sesame Street Live Show.  It was a great live show!  I love to take my children to live shows and we usually do Disney shows and they go all out, but I am hear to say Sesame Street went all out also.  The girls were not to happy with me because I did not get them a ticket but I told them they were to old for Seame Street and I save $80!  LOL

Summer in the Son



This week the girls have been attending Summer in the Son at Wrens Church of God, it's similar to VBS. It is so well planned and my 2 girls have had a BLAST this week! They wear their swimsuits each day and do lots of water games, singing, crafts, etc.  Kaden and I have been at home hanging out and he sure has missed his sisters this week.

Cheer Camp 2011

The girls really enjoyed the Junior Jags Cheep Camp this year.  Abby is really into the cheerleading and gymnastics thing and Mallie is more like whatever and if you go watch her perform she is very shy and will not  look at you.  On Thursday, the parents were invited to come and watch the junior jags perform what they learned a camp.

Sweet Summertime!

First full week of summer break and boy, have these girls keep me busy.  Last weekend (Memorial Day Weekend) we took the camper to the lake for the summer.  We will spend most of our weekends at the lake.  Abby is keeping us in the rode to Swainsboro for Gymnastics practice (she goes twice a week for 2 hours).  This past week the girls had cheer camp in the mornings from 9:00 to 11:00.  This weekend we are back at the lake ( YaY---we love it).
