Home Sweet Home

Within the first hour of being home, I had all our bags packed and all lil man's bags unpacked. I even got the car vacuumed out. Today, I need to wash it. It is a rental so it has to be spotless and back at rental place tomorrow.
Tennessee is always great. Well, no matter where you are, it is always great to get away from it all. The weather could have been a BIT more cooperative but can't always get what you ask for.
The boys helped papa get his storage organized/cleaned and some stuff moved to the new storage building. The older boys shot some guns off as well as went hiking for a day. Dear hubby and I took a stroll down Gatlinburg strip while eating some fudge and enjoying the scenery....too bad it was cold. Other than that.....I sat on my bum most the time. That is how I cannot figure out how I lost another 6.6 pounds while on vacation. I had 5 pieces of pizza in a matter of 2 days, several bites of fudge, candy galore and LOTS of water!

WARNING: LOTS OF PHOTOS ABOUT TO FOLLOW!!!
