For Christmas/New Year’s this year, we gave the kids a trip to Wilderness at the Smokies.  Four days of a water park at the end of the winter?  Yes!  We rented a villa and it was wonderful! Right on the golf course and a short drive to the water park. We decided to go out to eat for one night to Mama’s Farmhouse.  Yummy eats and fun activities for the kids.

Three littles as snug as a bug. It wasn’t all water play, we spent a good bit of time hanging out in the arcade too.

One night, the guys took a trip to the knife store.  It turned out to be a pretty cool store.

Ace won the Most Amazing Pool Hair Award. Mark and I snuck away for a lunch (and trip to the cast iron store).  We chose Paula Deen’s Family Restaurant.  It was absolutely outstanding.  We were stuffed and enjoyed every single bite.  We also got to watch snow fall (not stick, thankfully).

On the way home, we discovered Lay’s face bags.  Freaky, weird, and good for a quick laugh.

This was a fun trip before all the last stretch for our school year.
