Dollywood and School


Samantha started school on the eleventh and she is really enjoying first grade. Her good friend that lives by us ended up in her class and she was very excited!

We went to Dollywood before school started and had a great time! If you ever make it to Tennessee you should take a trip to Dollywood (Dolly Parton's amusement park). Samantha is getting tall enough to go on some adult rides and she even went on the Tennessee tornado twice. It's a roller coaster that goes upside down three times. I was a nervous wreck with her on it! Carter did amazingly well. He just sat in the stroller and people watched.
There is a new ride and you just ride on a boat, squirt people and people (who are not on the ride) squirt you. I let Aaron take the kids on that ride and he got soaked! It was pretty funny.
Aaron and the kids right after the ride.

I wanted to put this picture of Carter in because I think his hair is so funny! It's getting longer, but it will not lay down! It is constantly sticking straight up.

That makes me excited for Florida! It has been so long since I have been on a roller coaster. Wow, so now you only have 2 kids at home- that must be a nice change. Carter is adorable- he'll look like uncle Jon- but not by choice- Jon just doesn't bother to flatten his bed head hair when he wakes up :0)
