Tuesday-Alan left for Alabama for work and I went home to spend the night...
Wednesday we headed out for Pigeon Forge. We stopped on the way to see the baby. He was up to 4lbs and 1 oz and looks so different. He no longer has the "preemie look" and they let him breast feed for the 1st time while I was there. I'm so glad he's doing well and he's SOOOOO precious! I can't wait for him to come home!
Anyhow, after that we went straight to Dollywood. Initially, I was afraid Logan wasn't going to have any fun. He is still too short to ride the bigger rides...he needs to grow a few more inches, but he ended up having a great time. I took him on Daredevil Falls and he LOVED it. We rode it about 5 times and the 2nd time I bet him $5 that he couldn't hold his hands up during the drop......sure enough, HE DID! So he won $5! After the last time we rode it he was standing on the bridge waiting to get wet and he lost his shoe in the water below, so he had to walk out of the park with just socks on, pretty funny!
This is him holding his hands up!
After we left, we went to our hotel and checked in, walked to Applebee's, ate dinner, and then came back to the hotel so he could swim. They had an indoor pool with 2 water slides and he loved it!
Thursday-we got up and went back to Dollywood. We rode more rides this day and he loved everything and wasn't scared of anything! It was a little more crowded but we still had a great time! We rode Blazin' Fury and he wanted to sit in the very front all by himself...such a big boy! I think his favorite ride was the side winder! We left Dollywood about 3 and went back to the room so he could do a little swimming! He played in the outdoor pool and the indoor pool and then he wanted to go to the Disney store. We did that, he got a huge set of Cars Tall Tales Cars with some of his birthday money. We did a little more shopping, ate dinner at TGI Fridays (had a brownie obsessions...the best dessert ever) and then went back to the hotel. Logan swam until 11 pm when the pool closed. When we got back to the room we raced motorcycles, listened to the ipod, ate popcorn and just played until 1 am.
Friday, Krystal came to the hotel to visit and then we all went to the Apple Barn to have breakfast. I ate there the last time I was in Pigeon Forge and it was delish...they have the best fried chicken biscuits! It was so nice to see Krystal and catch up with her. I hate that she's moved so far away! After breakfast we went to the Titanic. It wasn't what I expected and I probably won't go back. It was a lot of reading and Logan just wasn't into it! After we left there we headed home! Once we got back to the house we did the Dr. Pepper/Minto's trick. Logan had been wanting to do it for a while. Although it was neat, it wasn't near as big as I expected. Logan ended up coming back with me and spend the night. We made new "clothes" for Fluffy, his stuffed animal he got at Dollywood!
Today, we played the wii, rode the 4 wheeler down to the creek, played in the creek, and then helped Josh with his 4 wheelers. We just rented Tangled and MegaMind so Logan has made a pallet in the floor and we are watching Tangled. It's been a great 10 days off work.
I go back to work tomorrow and work Sunday-Wednesday!
Alan will finally be home on Thursday evening and I am so excited (he's been gone since Tuesday)
Friday I have engagement pictures with Weaver and Heather and I am so excited!!!
Saturday is Sugarland in Nashville and we are celebrating Thad's birthday...should be a GREAT weekend!
