We took a long Memorial Day weekend up to Wears Valley with Nana, Papa and Aunt Carol and (overall) had a good time! We went up there Wednesday afternoon and stayed in an awesome cabin. Thursday, we went to the Pancake Pantry and Ripley's Aquarium in Gatlinburg and also took a short hike in Elkmont. On the way back to the cabin, poor Addie got sick in the car. We thought it was just what she had eaten that day (one word: SUGAR) and just figured she'd be fine after that. But my poor baby was sick off and on the whole evening, then some more Friday evening, then some MORE Saturday afternoon. To top it off, she came down with pinkeye on Friday along with a bad cold! It was so pitiful. Needless to say, we took it very easy on Friday. Saturday, I actually came home early to see my friends graduate from law school (the class I started with - a little sad, but I'll get there!!!). Addie and JM got back on Sunday and by then, I was sick to my stomach, too, so Addie and I spent the day on the couch. I can't say that I hated it (besides the being sick part, of course :)). Anyway, we really did have a great time. It was so nice to get away and the weather was absolutely PERFECT! We really enjoyed hiking and I was happy that we didn't see any snakes. :) Seriously, though, sometimes I forget to take time to really enjoy how beautiful it is outside, especially in the rare areas that aren't developed! I can't wait to go back there again. Hopefully we'll make it this fall for a football game! And hopefully we'll stay well!
Ready for the Aquarium!
The traffic was stopped on the way to Gatlinburg (there was a tree in the road) so we got out and stretched our legs. Doesn't Addie look thrilled?! :)
Addie really wanted Daddy to have his hat!
Our little family on Friday - we didn't get many smiles out of Addie this day :(
Papa took a turn carrying Addie in the backpack because JM sprained his right shoulder last weekend. Addie INSISTED on holding her Daddy's hand
This one isn't from the cabin weekend, but I thought it was cute (disregard whatever face I'm making - who knows...). Addie likes to sit with me in the mornings and "help" me get ready (a/k/a put on my jewelry, headbands and whatever makeup I'll let her play with) - WHAT A STINKER!

OK, that last picture is classic - she looks like such a girly-girl!
I'm so proud...
Aw, cute! I love Addie's hair. The curls are just so sweet. I'm sorry she got sick, though! I'm sure that made for a not-so-fun time.
I'm also glad that I was gone over graduation weekend. I feel certain that I would have been magnetically drawn there and afterward gone into a deep depression over the fact that I wasn't graduating! I actually forgot about it until late Saturday night. Yay! I managed to ignore something!
That last picture is adorable. Addie is so cute. Sorry she got so sick! It stinks when our babies are sick! I'm coming in on Tuesday and I'll be there until Sunday morning, let's try to get together!
What a fun weekend! Other than the being sick part - bless your hearts!! But still sounds like a great trip. Always nice to get away! :-)
I love the picture of Addie - what a doll!
We have to get together soon. It was great to see all 3 of you!
Take care!
