Friday morning we got up bright and early and headed to Pigeon Forge. Why does that seem like a longer ride than the ride from here to the mountains? Maybe it's b/c we traveled the day before. We hit the Disney store first and right before we got ready to pay, the power went out. Was that a sign that we should just walk away? We stayed and then hit Gymboree. We didn't buy anything b/c we had just used our Gymbucks the week before online.
Our next stop and main reason for going to PF was Applewood. Here's Owen out front and in the Christmas store. A store specializing in breakable ornaments is a dangerous place for a 2.5 year old.
That afternoon we took Grandmama up the road to check out the view. I used the opportunity to take some autumnal pics.
Saturday morning we went to Santa's Land. It was very odd and extremely cold. We didn't come completely prepared b/c it warmed up quick the day before, but Santa's Land is mostly under shade.
Owen got to sit on Santa's lap for the first time this year.
A real reindeer?
Hungry?
Owen and I rode the peddle boats and I couldn't tell you the last time I did this. Since he couldn't reach the peddles, he insisted on driving. And he did, right into the wall.
There were several rides for him and there was no crowd, so he just kept riding.
And riding...
And riding...
Here we are showing off Owen's elf hat...thanks Grandmama!
An igloo...
And a huge rabbit Owen called the Easter Bunny...at Santa's Land???
I was going to warn you not to bother going here, but it was an adventure and Owen did have a good time. It was our first and last visit.
After this trip and Disney I am glad to be home for a while.
