Dollywood during spring break

We went for a short drive down to Dollywood (about an hour).  The kids were given season passes for their birthdays from Grandpa Borden (thank you grandpa!).  We wanted to go Monday but, it snowed.  We wanted to go Wednesday but, it rained and was still very cold.  We went Friday because it was forecast to be sunny and 60*.  It wasn't close to that, but, we had fun anyway......before we got really wet.  The Cruze family went with us.  We split up the group right away..

Tara and Emma (the teenagers) went off together .


The Carousel was great.



We caught up with them after awhile.  Seemed to be enjoying their independence.


Tried our hand at a few games (same as throwing dollar bills into the trash can!)

The Ferris Wheel

The mini train (a lot like woody woodpecker's train at Universal)
The Dizzy Disk....spins and moves back and forth.  A lot of screaming on this one!


 
The Lemon Twist (shaped teacups).  The kids raced to see who could spin the fastest.
They asked us who won......I say the person who couldn't walk off the ride is the one!







It began to sprinkle, then rain....and didn't stop the rest of the day.  We had to leave earlier than we wanted too.....good thing we have season passes.  These were little puppets (with people in them).....they got really close to me and freaked me out a little.  But, they are just the right size for Lydia!
