I'm A Survivor!

Well ladies and gents...Friday we departed for Gatlinburg to celebrate my grandmother's birthday (GiGi to Dalen) and Saturday we planned to go to Dollywood with our newly renewed season passes. Yes, you now officially know a family with season passes to Dollywood. Compliments of my mom (Gran to Dalen).
I have GREAT news...after a busted chin, bruised cheek bone, 2 outfits later(I will spare you by NOT elaborating), many miles walked, a 3 hour drive through the nauseating mountains and 69,317 tantrums later...WE SURVIVED OUR 1ST THEME PARK EXPERIENCE AS PARENTS!
Dalen absolutely loved Dollywood! He rode every ride he qualified to ride. He didn't cry on any of them and cheered and waved as he zoomed passed us. He only had to be accompanied by an adult on one and Mario rode with him. He soared high on the Flying Elephants as if he were at ground level and spun freely on the Piggy Parade and jammed out to the tunes on the Quack Attack.
Enjoy a few pics an videos of the weekend and a few random ones.

Olivia didn't go because her parents had plans on Saturday. But don't worry...Dalen now knows he can call "Bobba" (baby) on the phone and he did PLENTY of times to babble what she was missing. She knows who Dalen is and says Duh Duh when we mention his name.

Sunday we had a dinner for my grandmother and Jonathan. They share the same b-day. Here is Yibby and her uncle Mario, whom she seems to be pretty fond of.



Carasell!
Mario won Dalen a Florida Gator football and Dalen had happily pegged us all with it about 9,3076 times already. I think he will have quite an arm!

Dalen on the Quack Attack (I'm not sure what it was called but that's what we called it.).

Dalen on the Flying Elephants with Mario. There was a button to push to make them go up high and they both pushed it as many times as they could.
