What happens when mama gets cabin fever, throws all the kids into the car, goes through the McDonald’s drive-thru, gets her daughters each their own milkshake and tosses a chocolate chip cookie back at her eldest son? You get one happy, messy little man! (And a happy mama because now she’s had her iced coffee for the day!)
Photo credit: Becky!! I think I need to buy the kids some sturdy shovels so they quit using the silverware to dig in the dirt!
Jimmy: “Hi! My mom is trying to get us to sit still for Christmas pictures. Good luck with that! I think she just better settle with a close-up of ME!” Okay, I promise this is the last post about our Tennessee trip. The vacation was just so much fun, I can’t get enough of the pictures! Here are the girls coloring on the way down. We go through more than our fair share of coloring books and crayons around these parts:
Here’s Dad and the girls sporting safety glasses before touring the Mastercraft Boat factory. It was Jim’s dream come true to see the birthplace of his boats!
Here’s Danny wondering why he wasn’t allowed to go inside the factory with the big kids:
Here are some stuffed animals hanging from a tree at our campsite (don’t ask…): Here’s Mom and the girls playing a competitive game of SkipBo:
Here’s Jim and Jimmy taking in a football game on Thanksgiving.
While Jim stayed in the RV with the boys, Mom, Dad and I took the girls to their first live performance, a Christmas special at the Smoky Mountain Opry. What a great night!
You can see the girls were very excited!
Jimmy decided it was past his bedtime when they came to pick us up from the show:
I almost forgot to post about the best part of our Tennessee trip – visiting with Jim’s extended family! On our way back, we stopped at the home of Jim’s aunt and uncle and got to see some of his cousins and their children (including another set of twins). It was so nice to be together, even if it was only for one night. The kids thought they were in heaven, since there were other kids and a multitude of animals running around. It was crazy, but it was so much fun! Here is Megan soothing Danny with her magic touch:
Here is Becky holding a guinea pig for the first time (she was pretty impressed when I told her I had a guinea pig when I was young!):
Here is Jimmy with ten-year-old Dakota. The boys were a riot together – definitely two peas in a pod!
And here’s the whole gang:
I hope your day was as sparkly as the jewels the girls stuck on this coloring page!
