It's Family Vacation Time!

Our trip to Tennessee is slated to run August 19-27 and should be a great time! We are staying in a "cabin" (really though it's a four-bedroom (all king-size beds), four bathroom, two balcony, hot tub, grill, game room with pool/air hockey table, PS2, rocking chairs on both porches house) with Michelle, Craig, Caitlyn, and Ingrid. The cabin is located in Sevierville which puts us near Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.

More Sunday!!

IMG_2274 OK, so in going through my pictures I realized that we also went to the pool on Sunday.  I’m including a lot of pictures that may look the same but I just get a kick out of how much Sophie enjoys the pool.  She loves to “kick, kick, kick” and “paddle, paddle” and even shows off by floating on her back now (more swimming backward than floating really).

IMG_2279Here’s an action show of Sophie jumping to Tom.  I pretty much let her hit the water on her own now and just stop her from going under.  However, sometimes she will ask that you get “closer, closer, closer” until you have to pretty much catch her in the air.  I’m not really sure if she’d actually go under with the floaties but figured it wasn’t worth traumatizing her over at the end of the swimming season (but maybe next year…)

Here’s a shot of the kiddie pool water features…and Caitlyn if you can find her!

Here she is!

IMG_2285 I tried so hard to get a picture of Sophie and Max at the pool but for whatever reason she didn’t want to look up.  She did the same thing on Friday when I tried one more time for pictures (but she wanted more pictures when it was just her and her Daddy!)  Not sure if you can tell but she was splashing her feet in the water and then pretty soon Max started to copy her too.  Michelle was holding him in place.  Vacationing with family is great – having extra hands around for everything is wonderful!  Enjoy this little album of one looking, one not with a side of splash splash and silly faces!

Here’s so pictures from outside of the cabin that night.  They show some of the other “cabins” and the lights back in Pigeon Forge and the mountains in the distance.
