Dollywood!

Patrick and I took the boys to Dollywood on Saturday morning and we had a great time. We managed to get there not too long after it opened and were able to get a lot done and leave early to avoid the crowds and horrible heat. We rode a few rides, saw a couple of the KidsFest shows that we missed earlier in the summer and just had fun as a family. Unfortunately, the train was "sick" again and Drew was a little sad about that, but he understood that sometimes it can't come out of the shed. We stopped by Cracker Barrel on the way home for a late lunch and both boys ate with a vengeance. It seems they have their mother's love the the Barrel! It was a really wonderful day!

Allen loved sitting on his own horse on the carousel...

Riding the carousel instead of the train...it's just not the same but I'll smile anyway!

Such a sleepy boy!

Drew remembered the "sand train" from our last visit and was so excited to see it again, along with the new cars that had been sculpted.

We let Drew play this game and he won! He was so excited that he said "I'm the Winner" all day!

Drew's Major Award!

I didn't know you loved Cracker Barrell. Interesting. I see a visit there in our future.
