Saturday we woke up to a little bit of snow, so we headed for the sky lift to get to the top of the mountain. Addie LOVED the snow until her fingers were too frozen, so we warmed up inside the store before we headed back down. In my hasty packing, I forgot socks for myself and my feet were like ice cubes! We stopped at a little gift shop and I think I paid about $6 for one pair of ugly socks...oh well. Addie's first time holding snow! Last years dusting melted before Addie woke up from her nap.





Mom's snowdog and snowman... 



For lunch we went to Fudruckers down in Pigeon Forge and then Mom, Katie, Addie and I shopped the outlets while the boys headed back to the motel for the football game (I don't know which one though...haha). Mom and Katie out shopped me for once and then we went back to the room for a game of Rook before settling in for the night.

Her skin is so sensitive the bubble bath breaks her out, so I don't give her bubble baths often because I have to empty the tub after, refill it, and wash her again to get the stuff off her. I didn't realize how out of control the bubbles would get with a jetted tub, haha! Addie had so much fun and played in the tub for over an hour!
Sunday we ate some breakfast, took some pictures in front of the Smoky Mountain sign (it's a tradition) then headed home. Addie did great traveling both ways, but didn't nap either way. We stopped for a slushie and a snack each way and it kept her really happy on the trip.



On the way home, we took the scenic route and saw this wild turkey on the side of the road... crazy!
This was also on the scenic route home....lots and lots of this. So many turns though it made me carsick!
We had a great time and can't wait to do it again! We already made our reservations for next year!

That looks so beautiful, we've never been to Gatlinburg... that really tempts me!
The manager at the hotel we stayed at said that the 4th of July was an even better parade for anyone who is thinking of going. It starts two minutes after midnight of the 3rd and goes on for 2 - 2 1/2 hours and that night they have great fireworks.
I miss the snow! Those pictures are beautiful!
