Gatlinburg

Two weekends ago we took a trip to Gatlinburg to celebrate my mom's 50th birthday! It was a great trip mostly because we got to relax and have good company. The house we rented was perfect for us! Here is Noah hanging out

And this picture represents what we did most of the time. Play with technology and lay around:

And this is what the kids did most of the time. Pour out all the toys and have a ball

Birthday princess!

Here is the view from our house. We didn't get to enjoy it much because there were wasps all over the porch area. We just had to admire the mountains from inside.

Here is the birthday banner that Mary and I spent a week making!

Noah would only consent to a picture if he got to keep holding the broom:)

My ingenious cousin also had the idea to have a treasure hunt in honor of St. Patrick's day. Here is Mary opening her map:

Now they are hunting for treasure using their maps (and their moms)

Yay treasure!

Enjoying the plunder.

It was quite a good trip and I'm so glad we got to celebrate a great mom and grandma!
