Every other year, our family takes a vacation with Grandma, Grandpa, Aunts and Uncles. This year, we came to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee to enjoy the sites of the Smokey Mountains and the surrounding entertainment. Within the first 3 days we've managed to celebrate our wedding anniversary (9 years), go to the aquarium, go hiking in the mountains, swim, go go-karting, care for a sick kid, eat, eat, eat, and go to see a show. Having three children is a lot different than two when you're on vacation. Gillian has been great, however I think she misses home, which isn't a bad thing. Grant and Grady are living-it-up with the endless amount of fun.
Gretchen and I were married 9 years ago on July 31st. We came to Pigeon Forge for our honeymoon. This is our 4th time back and we love coming here, especially now that we can share this area with our kids. Allow me to go off subject for a minute to brag on my wife of 9 years. She is the best, most beautiful, thoughtful, intelligent woman I know and I love her to death. She makes my world immensely more enjoyable. The best part about her is she loves Jesus and loves to share that with others and with her family. "LOVE YOU GRETA!"
