I guess you could say another sign of spring in my neck of the woods is going to Dollywood! We have already gotten our season passes and been 2x so far this year! The girls are excited because they have grown tall enough to ride a few more rides this year! They have gone on their first "grown up" roller coaster...and loved it!! (almost as much as mommy!)

Here are some pictures from our day there today! Thanks to Nana and Papa for keeping Caleb so that we could each ride the rides with a girl and not have to stand around waiting so long! The girls had a blast today! You know, ordinarily I would not be a huge proponent of spending money on theme parks just for the heck of it...but I must say, as we spun around in the air...hearing my children's laughter...it was so worth it in my opinion. While you are up there in the air on these rides, laughing with your child...all your worries just melt away. I felt like a child again...and truly enjoyed hearing my girls laugh. and laugh. and laugh. Laughter truly is good for the heart!

The ferris wheel with daddy!

The "kids" veggie tale roller coaster!

The swings with mommy!

We all had fun riding the bumper cars for the first time! Daddy especially!

Carosel time!

Emily on the carosel!

The girls on the bumblebee

Just in time for our study on eagles (and birds last week) we saw lots of birds today!

Another owl

We also fed some ducks!

The girls had their eyes on these big suckers all day long...so at the end of the day, they got their yummy treats!
