Bear Mountains aka Gatlinburg weekend

We've spent the weekend with all the Fox Cousins in Gatlinburg or the Bear Mountains as my kids call it. Thankfully we didnt see a bear :). We did enjoy yummy pancake houses - yes plural because there may be one on every corner! Our favorite is always the Pancake Pantry. It's worth the wait!

Friday we spent the day at Dollywood. We rode just about every roller coaster. Sara has no fear- unless they go upside down! AK wanted to ride them all but was too short for the big ones. We rode an authentic steam engine train through the mountains. The kids loved it! Their favorite ride was driving the little 50's style cars. We lost count of how many times they rode them. The weather was beautiful - sunny and a high of 60. Charley was a champ! She enjoyed Dollywood from her stroller but completely crashed by 6:45!

Saturday we did lots of shopping at the outlet malls. To say it was crowded would be an understatement. It was insane but momma needed new fall clothes that aren't Liz Lange ;)

We ended our weekend with the kids in the hot tub and watching the UTennessee game. Fun times!
