Dollywood!!

So, Matt and I decided to go back to Dollywood for a full action packed day. Luckily, we learned a few things from the night before and were more prepared for the day. We got there when the rides opened at 11 Eastern. LeLe was able to ride most of the rides at least once before anyone else joined her on them. We even snuck in a picture with Santa. Matt had to tell Santa what he wanted too. Let's just hope he provides. :)

LeLe was in HEAVEN!! She would bark orders to her daddy on which rides she wanted to test out next. I believe she rode each one of them at least 5 or 6 times. She also rode on the beautiful carousel. The carousel was a little different than the one at the zoo and the Galleria as it had dragons, pigs, reindeer and many many more to choose from. So, guess what, we tried all most every one of them out.

Luckily, we also found a playground that LeLe was able to enjoy. Matt was able to sneak in a few roller coasters throughout the day. We had a WONDERFUL time and are very thankful for Dollywood!

During the afternoon, we learned that the floors were not going to be ready until the Monday. So, we ended up trading in our day passes to be annual passes so that we could enjoy Dollywood one more day.


We went back to our cabin for LeLe to take a nap but...she NEVER went to sleep. So, we loaded her back up, with several layers of clothing and decided to try to catch the train through the mountains. Unfortunately, we were just a few minutes too late and had to ride some additional rides until the 8:00 train came back. LeLe very much enjoyed the train ride...especially when it blew the loud horn. We rushed to find somewhere to eat but to our dismay, all of the places close at 9:00. So, we ended up getting a nutritious meal at Burger King.
