Our Family Vacation

When we got our tax return money we decided it was time to take a trip as a family of 5!

So, we packed up the kids and headed to Dollywood! It was the opening day that Saturday, so we thought we would stay at a hotel with an indoor pool and have our first family trip!

First stop...the Dixie Stampede!

We could not believe how much the kids loved the show! Even Koda was glued to the horses!

Speaking of horses. . . . Chloe had been talking about how she wanted to ride a horse. After this one, she got on a real one!

Cami and I got a horse together

Down the trail we went

We stopped at the store where we saw live black bears!

. . . too bad they didn't pose for a picture

Koda loved seeing "his bear kin"

We also got the girls to drive race cars!

Chloe was ready to go . . . .

Koda was the cutest fan in the pit!

Go Cami go!

Another shot with Daddy.

Since it started storming, we felt Dollywood was a no-go.

So, we took the girls to an American Girl Doll store where they each got a new doll!

But the best time was at the pool!

We had a terrific time!
