Werts family vacation part 1

We spent a few days in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, TN for our vacation this summer and had a blast. We visited Ripley's Aquarium, Ober Gatlinburg, and the Dixie Stampede. The highlight for Addison was the Dixie Stampede, followed closely by swimming in the resort pool, which she did every day while we were there. That girl LOVES to swim and would have been content just doing that all day every day!

We went to the pool and playground when we first got there at Laurel Crest resort, where we stayed. The next day was Ripley's Aquarium in Gatlinburg and Big Daddy's Pizzeria, with a night trip to the pool again.

I believe this is her first time on the monkey bars

Climbing the wall like a pro...even in flip flops (which Daddy frowns upon as a P.E. teacher)

Trapeze girl!

Swimming with Daddy...and no, that's not a white tshirt he's wearing...it's his farmer's tanned skin!

Timidly approaching the shark at Ripley's

Big fish

Very tentatively touching a horseshoe crab

Looking at all the Nemos and Doreys

Getting tired

Exploring the play area

The penguins seemed to be very attracted to her through the glass

Bubba Gump shrimp

Finally gave in to nap time

Driving the fire truck

Posing with the fireman bears. We didn't get to play putt-putt here because an afternoon shower flooded the course. She wanted to take a picture th them anyway. What a cutie.

Getting ready for some yummy brick oven pizza!

Playing in the arcade. The wind up...

The throw!
