Swimming

Audrey swimming at the country club last weekend.  She had a little mishap the day before with her nose :(

Our pool doesn't really compare, but it works on these hot days.  And yes, I am very pregnant!

Brian has started the updating of the barn.  We have half a door now!  Looks good. 

Fair!

We went to the fair last night.  Audrey mostly liked running around, but also got caught up with all the people and noises.

She really liked the carousel and wouldn't get off after the first ride, but decided she'd had enough mid-way through the second. 

Last day in TN

Our last day in Tennessee we spent the morning creek walking and picnicking, then to the pool and dinner with everyone before we left.

 

Cold water and very slippery.  Audrey did a face-plant into a rock and got a nice bruise on her cheek.

Hiking and White Water Rafting

Yesterday, we started the day with a family picture, then a hike to the highest point in the Appalachian Mountains -it was only 0.5miles to the top, but still a challenge.  Then some went white water rafting in the afternoon, including Brian, while the rest went to the water park.

 

The whole gang (minus the twins)

The top of the mountain.

White water rafting pics to come...

Gatlinburg, TN

We are in Tennessee this weekend to celebrate my parents 40th wedding anniversary.  It was a loooong drive! but we finally made it here.  Our first day was spent in Ober Gatlinburg which is a family fun area up in the mountain. 

 

Audrey riding the cars all by herself.  I'm not sure she knew what was going on.

Audrey not the only one to ride the rides... 
Also pictured are Emilee, Drew and some mountain man.

Playing in the kiddy area

We also went through a maze, playing mini-golf and rode the alpine slide (even I could go on that-though the had to clear the slide to let the pregnant girl go down).

Audrey all tuckered out - riding the tram down the mountain.
