Gatlinburg

Warner and I headed to Gatlinburg Thursday morning with Aunt Leslie, Abby, Ashley, and Nanny. Kevin, Uncle Billy, and Granddaddy met us the following day. It was a hilarious trip down with a total of three potty stops between Lexington and Gatlinburg (a 3 hour trip normally). We laughed and decided it was a good thing the guys weren't with us because they would not have had any patience with that!

We shopped at the outlet mall, ate at the Apple Barn, walked downtown Gatlinburg, swam at the hotel pool, played putt-putt, and took the kids to an kiddie amusement park, among other things. I was a bit bummed that we didn't get to hike - we borrowed my friend's hiking pack for Warner and everything, but just ran out of time.
Here Warner is "playing" putt-putt with us. He was in heaven between being able to walk himself, play in the dirt, and chase Abby and Ashley's golf balls around.
Kevin's parents and the grandkids after dinner at the Chop House. Warner spent about 5 minutes total in the restaurant, and then decided he'd use his crying abilities to score him some time outside the restaurant playing in the landscaping while mom and dad took turns scarfing down their meals.

Way to show them who's boss and that you are in control at all meals, at home or out. You and Kole must have taken the same class because at your age, he loved to do that.
