Father's Day 2013

Happy Father's Day!  Today, we celebrated in style.  Reagan had the whole day planned for us.  We awoke extra early and went to Greg's favorite breakfast restaurant, Cracker Barrel, before church.  After church, we had a cook-out at Gigi and Bubba's (complete with ice cream) and then a boat ride.  Reagan wanted to go to a "fancy restaurant" for dinner, but we ran out of time and ran out of room in our bellies!!

Happy Father's Day!
 How handsome is he?
 the kids wanted to get their picture made together so they could print it and put it in a frame for Greg.  Still need to do that!
 At Gigi & Bubba's, Cooper wasted no time getting on his 4-wheeler

gorgeous girl
 Reagan had an "incident" on the boat ~ she scraped her knee, had a little blood and kept screaming, "I don't want to die! I'm losing too much blood!"  It was so loud and went on for so long, we had to turn around and go back to the house so she could calm down.
 a little over dramatic to say the least ~ as you can tell, Cooper thought it was hilarious!
 oh, the pain!
 Can you say DRAMA QUEEN?
 Captain of the boat
 won't be long before he's at the helm for real
 Greg had a very relaxing Father's Day
 the crying has stopped

 Finally, a smile

Happy Father's Day to my dad!  Sorry I wasn't there to celebrate with you, but I was thinking about you!

4 Wheels

After Dollywood, we stopped by the Bass Pro Shop.  The kids found what they want for Christmas!
a new 4 wheeler!
 she looks like a natural!

Hooray for Dollywood!

For Christmas, the kids received season passes to Dollywood.  Today was the first time we were able to use them.  We left early in the morning, had breakfast on the road and entered an amusement park for the very first time!!

 Cooper on his very first ride (you can see the top of Reagan's head around the corner, but I couldn't get a picture of her because the ride was round)
 the kids asked me to take a picture of the Bald Eagle

We only got to about 1/2 of the park, but thankfully with season passes, we can go back anytime!
