Mountains

Chris and I took the kids to the mountains last week for our vacation. My sister and nephews stayed with us for a few days before going to my mom's house. The boys (and girl!) had an absolute blast. They all got along so great that we were wondering if it was too good to be true. We did a lot of exploring in the mountains and especially the streams/rivers. We used to love walking through the rivers of New Hampshire when we were little, so it was nice be able to see them enjoy it as well. We had a little party for Emerson on her birthday. This was her first with Amy's boys. Hopefully we can make it an annual thing!

After Amy and the boys left, we went to Dollywood for a few days. Ethan enjoyed riding rides with Chris. Chris even took both children on the ferris wheel. Emerson decided at the top that she wanted mommy. Needless to say, they only rode that one once. We played lots of mini golf, explored caverns and hung out at the pool/water park at the resort.

On Saturday, my brother-in-law flew into Charlotte, so we all met at Monkey Joe's. Logan, Tyler and Ryland had never been, so Ethan and Emerson showed them the ropes. Then we went back to my mom's house for a BBQ. I have typed some comments on the pictures in the album with a few more descriptions of our week. I am also uploading all of my sisters pictures as well.
