We just got back from a terriffic week in Gatlinburg Tenn. When I say we, I mean the kids and me. Randy had to work, so I went it alone. I can't complain though because I had 34 other family members around to help out.
I'll be honest, I was a little nervous about how this endeavor would go. You know exactly what I mean....38 family members sharing cabins (which means bathrooms and in some cases beds) and supper for 7 days. There is bound to be some bloodshed. But, I must say, I think it went extremely well. Kudos to my cousin, Donnel, who planned it all.
My favorite day was white water rafting day. This is something I never thought I would ever do, but now am so glad I did and can't wait to go again! Seth won a free pass to raft through our resort (Mountain Loft Resort). I thought to myself, oh crap, now what. I could tell he was really excited about winning the pass and wanted to go. So that night at supper, I put it out there asking who would want to go, still thinking in the back of my mind that other family members would take Seth and I would stay behind. Well it turned out we had a group of 23 rafters. Once I saw that that group included my 68 year old aunt and uncle, I decided to go for it too. We all had a blast and have pics to prove it!
This trip turned out to be so good for our family. We bonded in ways I never expected. I am missing them all already and can't wait until next year!
For those of you who participated, with me, in late night bear hunting at the dumpsters... there is always next time! LOL!
