Hello from Sevierville, TN!
We arrived in the Smokies yesterday around 12:30pm. It was a beautiful day in the upper 70's. We checked into our condo which is absolutely beautiful. It is 1500 square feet and Madison thinks she would like to just move in here. The resort itself is much bigger than the WI Dells which is what we previously compared this area to in our minds. We went to Tony's favorite fast food restaurant... Chick Fillet, for lunch which is less than a mile away. Tony took the kids swimming and I went to Super Walmart with our grocery list in hand. Afterwards I met up with them at the pool. They swam for 3 hours and then went rollerblading, scootering and made a trip to the resort's park. Never out of energy of course! We stayed in last night and had pizza and fruit for supper. We watched Ohio State's game... how ironic that OH and FL played each other in football and now in BB too for the championship! We hope they win this time! I rented Eragon at the $1 Red Box at Walmart which is PG but it was so scary for the kids that we had to turn it off. It was pretty scary.... great, just what they needed before bedtime. They did fine though at bedtime.
We've (I've) had a small snag in the midst of our 2 days so far... I'm having some right upper quad pain which I presume to be my gallbladder which is aching!! Can you believe it? I've decided to do what I would recommend to someone else and go on a clear liquid diet. Bummer huh? I have a lot of good meals planned for breakfasts and suppers so I hope this clears up fast!! It's just enough to be annoying. So, if you can say a prayer about this I would appreciate it. I sure don't want to be in a TN ER!!
Today it is raining and supposed to rain most of the day. We sat out on our deck this morning and listened to the peaceful rain hitting the mountain behind us. So relaxing. Strange that there are actually cows in a field behind us. The kids have walked out to a fence in the backyard to visit with them. It makes for a serene picture... especially with the view of the Tanger Outlet in the distance. HA! We are going to go to Ripley's Aquarium today in Gaitlenburg... about 10 miles away. We've packed our lunch (for 3 of us any way) and will soon take off. Quinn has been drooling over a brochure for the TN Airport's Aviation Museum so we might hit that as well. He's pointed at every picture and told me what plane it is and how we just have to go there and see them.
It seems weird that today is Palm Sunday and we aren't in church. We'll have a little lesson on our way in the van for the day. I hope you all are going to have a nice day. My dear husband installed something on his work lap top so I have dial up in our condo now... otherwise they have high speed in the activity center. I'll try and post tonight about the events of the day.
Love to all, Leah
