Little Cabin in the Woods

Here's a little belated look at our Labor Day weekend. We went to Gatlinburg with my parents and had a great time. Our cabin was super comfy and as you will see from the pictures below we did a whole lot of swinging on the AWESOME back porch, playing with our boy, and being lazy. It was a great way to spend the weekend!!!!!

Waving Bye Bye

Our cabin was super open and had a loft. Jacob was FASCINATED everytime one of us went upstairs. He would watch us walk up the stairs. If we would stop and look at him he would smile really big or laugh really hard. He also would wave bye bye to us. It was just so darn cute!!!

Playing with cars - this boy loves him some wheel action

Pops I wanna wear your hat

Hey Coach.

By the way - from the moment we got to Gatlinburg Jacob was obsessed with Coach. We pulled up and Coach and Gamma were waiting on the front porch. Jake immediately went for my dad. And, well that's how it was all weekend. This boy loves his Coach. Oh, and Coach loves his Jacob. It is so fun to watch the two of them together.

Tickle time before dinner

My sister who goes to UT didn't come with us this weekend because of the football game. We sure did miss her. However, since Knoxville isn't that far away she and her new boyfriend Michael came up for dinner on Sunday night. Jacob was so happy to see his Leelee.

There's that truck again - I think I know what this boy is getting for his birthday!!

One last family picture on the swing

Jacob LOVES his grandparents - look at that happy face :)

Our cabin. Gotta love Gatlinburg for the super cheezy names

We didn't just stay in the cabin the whole time. We got out a bit too. Jared and I went walking around downtown Gatlinburg while the rents kept the boy. It was nice to have a few baby-free hours. We also rode go carts. Here are a couple of pics of J at the track. This boy was completely and totally mesmerized watching the carts race. It was too funny!!!!

One more look guys

On Monday morning we all went and had a yummy Pancake breakfast before my parents left for home. We however had one more stop to make. A visit isn't complete without a trip to the aquarium. Jacob LOVED it!!!!

Creepy looking spider crab - I actually had a nightmare about this thing

Shark

In case you can't read this sign it said it was put up due to the "SHARK ATTACK".

That's right - one of the sharks attacked the glass in the underwater tunnel.

There were teeth marks and scratches to prove it.

Can you imagine!?! So glad that didn't happen on the day were there!!!

Cute little thing - I have no idea what it is but I kinda want one

Maybe this is the one that attacked!?!

Looking at the fishies

Look at how pretty that water is. Not that I would want to get in it with one of those things though.

At the end - what a great way to end our trip

Love this boy!!!

Well, we sure had a great time. Can't wait for next year!! Hope everyone else had a wonderful holiday weekend as well. Till next time peeps.....
