We got kind of a late start heading out of town. Daddy had to work on Friday, so we left after dinner. The biggest problem we ran into immediately was just trying to get out of our little town! The shortcut we had found last year was out of commission due to a bridge being out! We saw the detour signs and figured there was an alternate route. Yeah...10 miles later, we found out there was no detour. The road simply ended where the bridge was out. Gee...thanks! So, 10 miles of backtracking later, we were finally on the road.
We had purposely not given Chase an afternoon nap, thinking he could sleep in the car on the way down. Yeah...that was a total backfire! He slept maybe 30 minutes tops and ended up being awake the entire drive! When we finally got checked into the hotel and unpacked, we fell into bed at 11:30pm! Talk about 2 tired boys!
Saturday morning, our first stop had to be Krispy Kreme! The boys have talked about going to "the donut factory" ever since we took them there last year! Unfortunately, when we arrived, there was no place to park. Even worse, had we found parking, there were no tables available inside. It was standing room only. So, we opted to use the drive-thru (and didn't get to see the donuts being made...) and ate breakfast in the car on the road to Silver Dollar City. Once there, the boys had a great time!
The boys got their Sheriff badges right when we walked through the gate!
Riding the swings in the brand new children's area.
Next stop....the train!
Then, we had to go find the haunted house! The boys have talked about this for a year too!
Cole...standing the area where we ate lunch!
Silly boy...on the teacups!
Sharing a Coke/Blueberry/Orange/Cherry Slurpee!
Chase trying to figure out what is inside that fountain!
Riding the bugs....the last ride of the day!
After Silver Dollar City, the boys CRASHED in the truck while we drove back to town. But, boy did they wake right up when they saw that we were going to eat at a brand new restaurant with a giant chicken standing outside! This turned out to be a real hit with the boys....live band, noisy and kid-friendly, and buckets of fried pickles for Chase!
Here are the boys doing their best chicken impersonation...
