Spring Break!

We decided to take a Spring Break trip to Tennessee this year. Thankfully, the Lord was planning ahead for us. By chance my mom also had the week off work and no grandkids to watch for the week, so we invited her to go with us. The morning after we arrived Mark came down with a bad case of the flu. He couldn't get out of bed for two days. Without Mom I'm not sure that I would have felt comfortable taking three kids out and about all day. Despite Mark's illness we had a great time, and by Friday night he was even able to join us at the Dixie Stampede. We stayed in a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom condo. In one of the bathrooms was this gigantic jetted tub. Even though the place had an indoor pool, the kids loved to play in the tub as well.
Friday evening we took in the show at the Dixie Stampede. We couldn't take pictures during the dinner/show, but got a few before and after. If you've never been to a show at the Dixie Stampede we highly recommend it! The kids loved it!

Brock and Hope playing at the Wonder Works museum.
The aquarium in Gatlinburg is also awesome!!

Here are just a couple photos from the AWANA Grand Prix (a few days before we left on vacation). Claire and Mark made 'Pink Panther'. I'm not sure who was more proud when he placed 3rd, but I'm pretty sure it was Mark.
