Tennessee Visit

Just got back from a visit to G&G Meiers in Tennessee.  My brother and his wife and two girls (who live in Florida) were there, too, so my parents had a packed house!  The kids all had a great time - they are all the same age, and they had fun getting to know each other and playing together.  It got a bit loud at times, but what can you expect with five kids under the age of six!  We did lots of boating, swimming, water skiing, inter-tubing and eating.  We also took a day and went to Dollywood, which the kids thought was really fun.  I'm busying going through the 250+ pictures I took - below are some of my favorites that I've already edited.  They are in no particular order.  


Consistent with last year, Griff did not like the boat. You would hear him repeat all week, over and over again, "I do not like that boat."  He only went on it twice, both times looking very pained the entire time we were out!

Abby, tired of my taking her picture, and anxious to get back into the water!

Hannah, falling asleep on the boat, our first day there. I think she was still tired from our late flight into Tennessee!

Silly grin from Abby.
The kiddos.
Avery (3), Sidney (6), the babes and Abby at Dollywood.  Cute shirts, no? Made 'em myself.  And Griff wore that same expression the entire time we were at Dollywood. You would think he had an awful time, but he didn't....he just looks grumpy!
Abby on the boat, looking out.
Sweet Avery.
