Sweet Home away from Home Alabama

Labor Day weekend we went to visit Wally's siter Trish in Alabama. Her kids Amber and Jack adore the kids. We ate lunch at this beautiful place in the mountains.


 

Our favorite neighbors

We adore our next door neighbors and they feel the same about us, or the kids at least. Wayne works at the library and lets Noah help check books out when we visit. His daughter Lisa and granddaughter Nyla also live with him. Noah and Nyla love to play together. She's two years older than him and they've babysat for us and vice versa.
 

Ober Gatlinburg

We took a tram up the mountain to Ober Gatlinburg. Just a little bit scary to be hanging from a wire atop the mountain.

In one of those "I can't believe I did this" moments, we took the kids up a ski lift so we could ride a tobaggon type slide down the mountain. It was fun, and we have obedient kids, so it was safe, but WHAT WERE WE THINKING!?!

The Pancake Pantry

This place ain't got nothin on IHOP. It was crowded, but for good reason. The pancakes were divine and selection was phenomenal. I highly recommend if you're ever in the Gatlinburg area. Check it out here.


 

Purple Mountains Majesty

For a few days on our way home from Michigan, we stopped in Gatlinburg Tennessee. Even though we stayed in a crappy hotel, we had a very nice time and wish to go back someday. The next few posts are pictures from our trip.

Noah in front of the Hollywood car museum. How'd that car get so small?


 

There's a Rat in the Restaurant

Seriously, whose idea of fun is this?? Grandma took us to Chuck E Cheese. I think Noah had fun, but you wouldn't know it from this pictures.

 

Social Climber

Gloria, at 8 months old, had no problems crawling up Grandma and Grandpa's stairs.


 

Clang Clang Clang...

Goes the Trolley.
 

Imagination Station

Here in our favorite city to live, Grand Haven. The kids and I went to the park to play.


 

The US Air Force Wants You!

Noah and I got to spend some Mom and Son time at the Muskegon Air Fare in July.
