We spent yesterday (Friday) at Dollywood. What a blast!! Just me and my two favorite guys. For those of you who don't know where or what Dollywood is - it is an amusement park set in the Smoky Mountains near Gatlinburg,TN. It is owned by Dolly Parton (hence Dollywood). It's a mountain theme park - you know, a country fair, white water rapids, mines, lots of beautiful trees and flowers, country and gospel music, cotton candy, candy apples, homemade ice cream, you get the idea.
Dollywood is only a little over an hour from our house, so we can make a day trip of it.
What a blessing it was to spend the day having fun with my husband and son. We rode rides, some of them multiple times, we ate, and there was lots and lots of laughter. What a blessed day.
This is Jacob and Frank on the River Rampage (for the fifth time). I rode the first two and decided I needed to dry out for a while.
I'm not very good at this picture thing - so, tips are not only appreciated they are hope for. So, bear with me and at least you can see some of the fun.

Jacob climbing the wall.And, VICTORY!!! I'm the "King of the World".
Me and Jacob on the Scrambler - we rode it six times in a row. I don't think I have ever heard him laugh so hard.
Here is a picture of me and Frank near the end of the day. You can see that we were tired, but still having a good time. Funny how Frank looks much less water logged than I do.And, one last picture of my little guy - we were just goofing off at some of the booths.
So, here are a few moments from an absolutely wonderful day. I can hardly wait for vacation - seven whole days of nothing but, me and my guys and fun, fun, fun. Blessings.

LOL! Loving him in the hat at the end. And you look like you're doing just wonderful with posting these pictures! YAY! I'm such a visual person, so it brightens my day!
I've never been to Dollywood, but would have to assume that it would just be a blast for any true southerner :)
Okay, I officially want to go to Dollywood. It would raise a few eyebrows around here. I myself had no idea what it was. I thought it was like the Grand Ole Opry. But it looks like so much fun for the whole family. I read your description to my husband and he thought it sounded super fun, too! Glad you had such a great time!
