We took a trip to Gatlinburg the first weekend in December for their annual Christmas festival. We got up there Thursday and stayed until Sunday. Thursday we were exhausted from traveling, so we stayed in our comfy rooms with the fire roaring, then Friday we headed out.
We ate breakfast at the Pancake Pantry, our absolute favorite place there! After breakfast, me, Jarom, Addie, Katie, and Scott headed over to Ripley's Aquarium. Addie loves fish, so it made for a great time. Jarom asked Addie if she wanted to go see fishies or eat fishies and she said "eat!!!", haha!
It's almost impossible to get a "normal" picture of Scott. Typical.
Katie will probably kill me for this one, but it's funny! They had these fish tanks that you could climb up into, Addie loved them too.

Addie loved looking at all the fish but didn't like it when Dad put her in one of the giant fish display's mouth.

Then we were watching the sting ray's and Addie climbed up on the ledge and was watching them until one got right up in her face and she went hysterical, it scared her to death! Poor baby!
After the aquarium on the walk home (right before Addie fell asleep).
Jarom got in trouble for touching the sharks (he touched one smaller shark 3 times) in the sting ray petting area, and the shark charged Jarom, not to happy about being touched. We then headed back for some lunch and Addie fell asleep on the way, so she and I stayed in the room while Jarom, Dad, Katie, and Scott went zip lining. When they got back we headed out for the night time Christmas Parade, which was a blast! I found a hot chocolate stand and it snowed while we watched the parade. So much fun!

That was the first aquarium I ever went to, and I loved it. I want to take the kids, the tunnel thing is so cool! Love the jellyfish pics
