Birthday @ Dollywood

We went to TN for Memorial weekend to see family.  Mimi and Granddaddy Pete treated the birthday girl (and all of us including Uncle Tyson, Aunt Amanda, Elle & Emerson) to a day at Dollywood.  This park has come a LONG WAY in my lifetime (when I was little it was a hillbilly-esque park called Silver Dollar City).  We had a completely wonderful day!  All the kids were so good, the lines were very short, the weather comfortable, and the company the best!  Tyson and I rode a roller coaster that was the fastest thing I have ever been on.  We screamed our heads off!  I was amazed at all the rides that Hannah could enjoy - even some by herself.  *sigh*  She's getting so big.

when we got to the top of the Ferris Wheel, she said, "I so big.  I fly like a bird!".

Beyond soaked after the River Battle.  It was their FAVORITE... a unique ride where you shoot other boats and spectators with water cannons while they shoot you.  Uncle Tyson and Daddy LOVED pelting people and both were a little sore afterwards!




new favorite picture of my dad!!


After Dollywood, we crashed at Mimi's and had a small party for the birthday girl!


She was beside herself with excitement for all the Rapunzel dress-up stuff!

priceless look beholding herself as a "pwincess".
