Monday was our last day in Pigeon Forge. We woke up and had breakfast. The weather was yucky again, so we decided to head to the aquarium in Gatlinburg, which ended up being really cool. We came home and put Brynn down for her nap, and then Ryan's parents watched Brynn, Ansley, and Charli that afternoon/early evening so that Ryan and I, Jason and Sarah, and Kyle could all go to Dollywood by ourselves and ride the roller coasters! Oh my gosh, to say we had a blast would be a severe understatement! Then we met back up with everyone and went to Mellow Mushroom for dinner, and then some fro-yo! WOOHOO!
 |
| Hanging out before breakfast...we found some really fun Christmas app on the iPad and the girls (and me) had fun playing it! =) |
 |
| Jason and Sarah's breakfast day - everyone made their own omelet! YUM! |
 |
| They had this really huge tunnel you could walk through...so neat! |
 |
| Right after this picture Ryan got in trouble for not holding the crab with two hands...whoops! |
 |
| How did we fix it? Found a cute old man to hold Brynn while Ryan got out the crab the right way. Then she got to touch it. That was the sweetest little man! |
 |
| Climbing up a tunnel and looking out. |
 |
| STICKERS! |
 |
| They had the coolest thing in the penguin area...this tube you could climb through that was under the water... then you could come out and see the penguins who were out of the water. |

 |
| This little thing isn't afraid of much...she wanted to touch everything! |
After the aquarium it was roller coaster time! I seriously don't think I've been on a roller coaster since going to Six Flags in high-school, so needless to say we were excited. It was still drizzly and rainy so the park was pretty much empty. The only time we ever possibly had to wait in line for a roller coaster was when we couldn't ride in the front. We rode all 6 or 7 roller coasters twice and got to ride in the front on all of them. It was SO MUCH FUN! We laughed and screamed and got drenched...even a light rain feels pretty heavy when you are dropping and whizzing around at 50 MPH!

| All 3 Bandermann boys! |
 |
| Sarah and I were having so much fun! When we got back from one ride we were literally the only ones on it. The guy running the ride was like "how was it?" And we were all yelling and hooting and hollering. We were like "can you tell we have kids and we're having a fun date away from them right now?" HA! |
 |
| Kyle and I rode this thing 4 times! (Sounds like a lot but the lady running the ride said the record for somebody riding it in a row is 82!) Anyway - it was such a fun ride...kind of like the pirate ship but better. Ryan decided to film it on the third time. We were about halfway up the ride when the ride stopped. When we came back down everybody was like "what happened?" My HUSBAND GOT IN TROUBLE FOR FILMING AND THEY HAD TO SHUT THE RIDE DOWN TO STOP HIM!" Ahh! I was part cringing and part cracking up! |
 |
| We decided to ride some of the rides in the back too...not a huge fan. The front was more fun and much smoother! |
Thank you Pam and Rick for keeping all the girls and letting us have such a GREAT TIME! I was so impressed with how fun Dollywood was...if you ever think about going I think you'll definitely enjoy it!
Also just wanted to give a shout-out to Mrs. Linda...Linda I know you are reading this before bed...hope you enjoy! =)
