Back to the Wilderness in the Smokies

 Same room, same gang....Wilderness in the Smokies here we go!

 This year we packed everything we needed and never left the hotel.  Why go out to eat when the kids could care less and your room has a full kitchen?  The first night we had yummy quesadillas cooked up by chef Matt Turner.

 Bowling.  The little guys LOVED this.  I have a video of Lucas that warrants its own separate blog...so stay tuned for that!

 Our brave little ropes course climbers getting all harnessed up.

 There they go.  This was way more tricky than it looks.  Hunter didn't even hesitate over the first few challenges and bridges but when they got a little higher he got stuck and wanted to come back down.  I thought this was going to be super easy, but I was mistaken.  Later in the day, Kelly and I harnessed up and tried the course out ourselves.  I am not a risk taker or thrill seeker (just ask Matt and Kelly!) and once we got up on the third level I wasn't so sure that I was going to make it down.  Long story short,  it was fun and challenging and I would love to do it again.

 Wave Pool!!  If you maximize this picture you can see the kids and daddies jumping waves.  This was Hunter's and Emerson's favorite spot.

 Last year he spend most of the stay in the chair, not this year.  He played and played and played!

 Overhand skee ball, you roll that way, right?

 Black light mini golf.

 Ticket masters.  Hunter loved all the arcade games and collecting tickets.

 Emerson climbing the rock climbing wall.  Way to go!!

 Kelly went up the wall too and made it to the top!!

Here is the gang.  These kiddos love each other. There isn't a day that goes by that my boys don't ask to see these sweet girls!  We love you Turner Family!!
