After going to Ripleys Aquarium, we went back from Gatlienburg into Pigeon Forge, stopped at the Kroger Grocery store for our groceries. The guys decided they would wait in the car with the children, and we thought maybe about an hour of shopping. Into the 2nd hour they came into the store wondering if we were kidnapped or something.
Finally we were done, then onto the meat market for steaks. (I had purchased great steaks before we left, about $100 dollars worth of rib-eyes etc-and forgot them! ugg)
So we bought more steaks...great little meat market.
It was closer to the Cabins on the west location, which was fine, as we did not want to go thru town with that bumper to bumper traffic! So back roads from the west location to the east location.
We were staying for the first time in a villa.
It was nice, well decorated, but a number of things were not there or kept up. More on that later.
We carried everything in, and finally settled, we prepared supper, guys grilled the meat, and a great supper was eaten.

you can see the 'rock' that comes out it is a water fall, at that rock level is a warmer pool, but the water for the falls does not come from that. then up a little more is a hot tub. You can see the gazebo roof up there too. |
Sunday we just hung around the place, swam, watched some movies, and rested and went to the pool.... It was cold!!!! But in we went in anyway! After about 5 minutes, we went up to the warmer pool (there are 3 --the 2 upper ones ---one a small pool that is warm, and the other, like a hot tub) That all was fine.
Monday we went to town, to "old McDonalds miniature golf", shopping to the cast iron store where Nathan and Kasandra invested into their cast iron cook wear. Then out to eat at Logans.

there are 3 different 'trails' to follow, so you can play for a long time. You can do the "cow" route, or the "pig' route or the shorter one, the "chicken' route. We chose the "cow route". |

we said that is where you milk a cow! |

Getting a little help on how to golf from his daddy |
|
Josiah wanted to do it on his own! |
|
Excited that he did it! |
|
I asked him if he wanted a photo with the sheep, so he thought he would climb up onto it, but it was too 'hot' (a very very hot day outside!) so he just stood by it instead! |
|
the group, with grampa in the end of the line! |
|
someone hit their ball into the water pond and it floated down to the water edge where there is a water fall, I wonder who did that? |
|
well now I guess we know who! |
|
smile for the camera! |
|
then after a golf game, (and Jeremiah hit one a hole in one!) the arcade was next. Here they are picking out their prizes! |
|
Jeremiah picked out a bracelet |
|
Josiah picked out a helicopter |
|
and their dad picked out some sidewalk chalk!
|
Ok I will get this one posted now, more later!
