Pics From Trip 2

In Sevierville, TN (just down from Gatlinburg) there is this Nascar place where you can ride go-carts. Since we were there last, they added some rides for the younger kids. Gracie started to ride this and was all smiles but after a few turns of the ride, she WANTED off!! The lady was nice and stopped the ride to let Gracie off, then started it back up for the other kids still on the ride
Caleb racing go-carts
Josh took it all too serious and when some guy 'put him in the wall', he slammed his steering wheel with his fist.
Gracie wanted a 'ribbit' so Chuck tried to win her won. After spending 20 bucks, he still didn't win one. He tried to just buy one but they wouldn't let him

About 5 minutes from mom's is this place called 'the bounce house'. It was a giant pole barn style building with all these 'bounce' mattresses in it. The older kids... ahem, that would be Chuck and my brother Pete.... played ball tag with Josh and Caleb. They worked up a sweat.
Gracie going down the giant slide
... and here comes Asa
Now it's mine turn to take Suzie down..... if you don't slide just right, you can get a major wedgie
Suzie, Gracie and Asa playing in the ball pit. They had an area just for toddlers and babies, no older kids allowed.
We celebrated Gracie and Asa's 3rd birthdays while we were there. Gracie has a purse full of nail polish and Asa's got a fire truck.
Chuck is painting Gracie's nails. Then 10 minutes later she came in and wanted me to take her polish off. Chuck said, "FINE" with a big pouty lip.
