Something Fishy

We drove to Gatlinburg later in the week to visit the fish at the aquarium!! Kaitlin had a great time and was fascinated by all the fish!

This was at the entrance of the aquarium..I loved the fall gourds painted as penguins!! I thought it was too cute and creative!

Kory and I grew up so close to the mountains but it never was that impressive or special! Since we have not lived in Tennessee since 2005 we were very aware of what a beautiful area we are from!

Kaitlin was so excited to get in the aquarium and get going! She did not stop moving all day!

Kaitlin spent at least 20 minutes exploring the kiddie cave…. she would have stayed their all day if we had let her!

There is a moving sidewalk that you are “suppose to stand on” to give you a very close look with the sharks….. Kaitlin decided to run on the sidewalk and couldn’t figure out why all the people were standing in her way!

Rocky Top

We just got back from a wonderful vacation in Tennessee!! We were able to be there for the entire week and got to see Tennessee play 2 games!! It was a wonderful week and we got to do some really fun things!!

Kaitlin is not allowed to go to games yet but here is Kory and I before the Georgia game!! We got to go to the Vol Walk with Will and Josh and let me just say the orange pants look even better in person! I even got my annual “Petro” at the game and it was amazing!
