Tennessee Vacation

Buddy and Betty Jean with the grandkids.

Jimmy, the girls, and I went on vacation to Gatlinburg, TN. Jimmy's parents and his sister and her family went with us. Madelyn and Mary Kaitlyn had extra fun spending time with their cousins. We went to Dollywood, Splash Country, Ripley's Aquarium, and Dixie Stampede. Jimmy, Debbie, Lyle, Betty Jean, and I took in a show at Memories. We saw Kenny Chesney, Hank Williams, Jr, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Elvis. It was a great show. Jimmy, Betty Jean, Madelyn, and Haley went to The Miracle Show. The show took the audience through Jesus' life.

The hot tub at the cabin was a HUGE hit with Madelyn, Haley, Mary Kaitlyn, and Brandon.
