The Baskin Family: Gatlinburg Vacation

We took Carter on a special trip to Gatlinburg to spend extra time with mommy and daddy before Harper arrives. We had a fabulous time!!! Here are just a few of the pictures...I took hundreds! : )

We stayed in the cutest little cabin...called Spoonful of Sugar!

Mommy has to take a walk every evening after dinner to keep my blood sugar low, so we were excited to find Patriot Park our first night there.

Matt and Carter had fun running all over the place!

We saw ducks...

Matt and Carter climbed down for a closer look at the water...mommy stayed near the top : )

We went to Dollywood! Here's Carter planning on his day...

Dipping dots- yum-o!

Carter's first roller coaster...he loved it!!! We were so nervous for him...it went pretty fast for a little kid ride!

We rode the train twice...Carter fell asleep the first time, so we had to ride it again!

Carter rode the chicken on the carousel...

We definitely had to go visit the Eagles! Last time we were at Dollywood, one of the Eagles had a broken wing...Mere & Carter worried about it for months. We didn't see any broken wings this time!

We visited the Apple Barn...

and the Christmas Place...

We had breakfast at the Pancake Pantry...

We rode the skylift...

Here's Carter picking out some special rocks at the top of the Skylift...

Too bad we don't have one of these at home for time-outs! : )

Playing in the cabin hot tub...

We took Carter to the Dixie Stampede! It was so much fun...and the South won, whoo hoo! : )

Carter was wiped out from our busy day and didn't want to wake up. He finally got interested in the horses and had a blast!

Carter loved the petting zoo!

The camel scared mommy...it would come running at you and lean way over the fence!!!

Carter even got to ride his first pony...he ended up getting on the biggest one, so mommy was nervous. Her name was Baby Doll and she was more interested in eating than walking, so Matt had a time getting her moving! : )
