Guess what??

Guess what? We had another FANTASTIC day! Hold on tight, because it is about to be a bumpy ride!!!

Here's the view from our back porch. Sooo beautiful. It was 52 degrees when we woke up this morning. Awesome! We had a nice breakfast at the cabin and then headed out. First stop, putt-putt. This putt-putt place you had to take a tram to the course. Rylee really liked the ride.

First hole, first hole in one. And by Grammy no less. DANG it!! Lucky!

Cody played more hockey than putt-putt, but he had a great time. He had a hard time waiting for the ball to come to a stop, he'd just hit it whenever, wherever. But, he kept wanting to play!

Here's the view from one of the holes. Isn't it a fun looking course!

Not to be outdone by his Grammy, Logan knocked in a hole in one on this hole. He was very excited!!

And then, my worst fear came true. My boys, all 3 of them, left me for a helicopter ride. UGH, that was the longest 10 minutes of my life. You know I'm not a fan of flying, even less a fan of flying in a $30 a ride helicopter at a tourist town. But my people, all about it. Seriously??? Yup, all about it. Logan rode up front with the pilot and Cody and Justin rode in the back and looked. Grammy, Rylee, and I stayed on the ground and prayed for a safe return. Ok, maybe Rylee was just happy to be out of the car seat, but, she enjoyed herself too!

There they are...flying high. Ick, that was not fun for mom. They got back and wanted to go again. Silly boys!

After that, we headed back to Silver Dollar City. And great, to another thing that makes mom nervous. The pirate ship. Justin and Logan rode that and some other crazy spinning, high flying rides that I do not enjoy even watching. The are right by the main pole in this picture...too high for me!!

So Cody and I went to ride the frogs again. There was too much "I'm too small," all over again so I felt bad and bit the bullet and rode with him. Seriously, I don't much enjoy rides, even kid ones I found out. This thing jumped around and ugh, not enjoyable. AND to top it off, there were parents there watching their kids, so I couldn't act like I was scared...which I was. I am a big ol' baby, Justin already told me I was boring and he wasn't going to take me anywhere else until I rode something...so hopefully these frogs count!!!

We found a play place for the boys. This was more suited for little kids, so Cody had a ball. He got soaking wet too!!

Look at that grin!!! I never knew he had a dimple there!

Logan and I rode the rapids. Now that, I LOVE! Give me just about any water ride and I'm there!! My mom took this picture, so I'm not going to complain about it. Luckily we all still have our heads! :-)

Cody FINALLY got his pop gun. Russell and Evan have one and he LOVES them! Grammy picked it up for him on the way home...now that was a fun walk back to the car!!

We came home and had a snack of ice cream sandwiches and the little ones took a nap. Justin and Logan headed out for some laser tag. Justin won apparently. They also did bumper boats. I haven't got the full story, but something about walking and pushing and coming home soaking wet...and I mean soaking!!! (Just Logan though, not Justin...mmmmm.)

Here is the monkey Cody won yesterday...pretty proud of it!!

Logan won the same one, but fortunately they had a different color!!

When everyone woke up, we got changed and got ready for the Dixie Stampede. It's the Dolly Parton horse show here. Look at that girls blue eyes! Where in the heck did those come from??

We couldn't take pictures inside the place, so we just go them of the stables. VERY nice stables to be exact!! There was a horse called Bo, Cody, and Amy. Thought that was interesting!

That show was awesome! I mean awesome. All kinds of horse tricks and riders. Singing and long horns. (Diane, I instantly thought of you...however, don't think any of them were near as cute as those pictures of Lily and Gabby...precious.) Anyway, it was an amazing show. I was really nervous how Cody would do. But he did awesome! He was in awe of the riders and lights and food. (It's a dinner show, they brought out, whole chickens--amy, you would have been grossed out--pork loins, corn on the cob, rolls, soup, and potatoes.) And to be honest, Rylee enjoyed it too! Even with all the noise. But maybe, just maybe, they enjoyed it because their mom and dad ended up being part of the stinkin' show!! Yup, seriously! They picked us to represent our side of the stadium. We were in a horse race...no, not a real horse race, a stick horse one. :-) can you imagine it now? And to make it even better...we had to ride the same stick horse! Let me tell you, Justin's not all that tall, but tall enough to make it hard to ride his same stick horse!! (Dona and Brannon, you are wrong...I can hear it now) Needless to say, we didn't win, but had a lot of fun! ( WHY OH WHY can't I take a camera in there...let me tell you it was HARD to not take pictures!) Here's what Rylee wore, it's her new outfit from Aunt Harriet and Uncle Robert...soooo cute huh??

After the show, we came home and got everyone ready for bed. Ahhhh, what fantastic, busy day! As we speak, everyone is asleep but Justin and I. He's watching a show and I'm typing this. So, now that I'm done, I'm off to bed. I love and really do miss you all. Wish you could be here for all the fun! Love you!!!
