Here are a few more form Dollywood and the Hollywood Star Carz Museum (Home of Andy's patrol car and Barney's WW2 motorcycle)

Fall Break to Dollywood !

It was brought to our attention this summer, that after I spoke glowingly of old family vacations to Wburg, Cherokee, DC etc., that all of our holidays and vacations are usually spent traveling to distant relatives...and that they (the kids) wanted to do something "fun" like we used to do. No offense intended and we understood what they meant. So for the first time we took our family on a Fall Break "vacation" to Gatlinburg last weekend and had a blast. Throwing apples to black bears behind our log cabin, hitting all of the Ripley's museums and aquarium and a full day at Dollywood made a great weekend- We reccommend the trek to anyone-

Mom's 75th Birthday slideshow

Just found this cool slideshow tool so I'm just playing around to see if I can make it work on our blog! These pictures were the easiest one for me to get to so if it works, maybe you'll see more slideshows!

Whew..it has been very busy the past couple of months because of work, coaching soccer, camping and Cub Scouts. Sorry to have been inactive in communication lately but I don't think it has ever been this hectic before- seems like everybody is going in opposite directions all of the time ! Anyway, here are a few photos from the last couple of weekends-
