Spring Break part 1 - Gatlinburg (long post)

Spring break was a few weeks ago and we decided to meet Kristin and Neal down at a cabin in Gatlinburg for a few days. The pictures describe just how much fun we had! The cabin was so perfect for all of us and the view was incredible! Couldn't have asked for better (or more beautiful) accommodations. It was especially fun to meet baby Lucy for the first time! She was just such an angel! And so darn cute. And Marshall was a champ! He just tagged along and caught naps whenever he could get the chance. Ivy had a little bit of a hard time when we were at the cabin but when we were out and about, she was great! Anyways, there was only one day that was rainy/snowy but other than that, cool clear skies! We were able to get in some good hikes and sight seeing, and on the day that it rained, we went to our favorite indoor water park and stayed all day long. Thanks Kristin and Neal for driving your whole family out to visit us! We had a blast!

First hike- Laural Falls.. It was beautiful but a bit crowded... Seemed to be a popular tourist spot. Still super cool to see and a perfect hike for little kids:

After lunch we hit up downtown Gatlinburg and the Airtram up to Ober Gatlinburg ski resort:

Next morning, Neal and Sam went for a quick trail run in the park:

 

Wild Bear Falls Water Park! The kids had a blast while the mommy's hung out with the babies. ;)

 

The next day we did a little shopping in Pigeon Forge, then met up in the afternoon for one more beautiful hike in the park.. This one had a wide, flat trail so we decided to take the babies in the stroller. They were so warm and cozy and fell right to sleep within minutes! It was adorable. Marshall seems to like his cousin Lucy, so far. hehe:

Such a gorgeous place! Sam caught some amazing photos that really captured the beauty of our hike..
