So today was the second and final day of Becky’s birthday present to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. To sum up the whole trip:
We all had a blast, we spent too much money (but I think that is a requirement of such a trip), and it was worth it all.
We started the day off rough. RaeLynne decided to break her usual ritual of sleeping all night and woke us up at 5:00 this morning. After coming to, we fed her and all went back to sleep. Thus everyone slept soundly until after 8:00. We lounged around a little and decided that a trip to the pool was in order due to Rory’s persistant “I wanna go to the pool”’s.
We then gathered our stuff and checked out. We traveled down the main drag looking to see just what we wanted to do. Along the way, we came across The Track. Not only is this a go-cart track, but also a small fair. They had a small collection of kiddie rides which we took advantage of.
She loved the planes that go around and up and down. Some call these Rocko Planes. We call them “the planes that go around and up and down”.
So we move on to the Ferris Wheel. Everything looked fine and Rory seemed fine. Then as the second picture alludes to, she began to cry out that she wanted off.
RaeLynne knew that this would not go well.
Next on the list was a nice comfy Carousel. This was safe and she enjoyed it.
We then moved off to the go-carts. First Rory got to drive HER own go-cart. She started out a little slow. This really surprised me since she flies around in her Power Wheels Jeep. Besides, she is my daughter, driving fast is in the family. Then after seeing that she was not pushing the pedal hard enough, we informed her of her mistake and she took off like “greased lightning”.
Finally we moved on to the fast carts. Here Rory and I got to ride together. We both had a blast.
The rest of the day consisted of a visit to Mr. Gatti’s and a ton of shopping. I had my morning of fun and Becky had her’s. I did manage to get Rory hopped up on M&M’s before we left the Knoxville area. The girls slept for around an hour before we got home.
EXCELLENT TRIP! Had a ball. Would love to do it again. First we need to recoup from this one.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BECKY, hope you enjoyed it.
