Smoky Mountain Trip with the Ruzas Family

We met our wonderful friends, The Ruzas Family, in Tennessee for an awesome vaction!  
The Ruzas were our neighbors when we lived in Indiana and the kids were each other's very first best friends.

The Ruzas arrived and the fun began!  I love when these kids get together, it is like we never moved away.  They are right back to laughing and running and playing like old times.

Me and Marcie.

Lots of fun in the hot tub on this trip!  

Why the Smoky Mountains are called the Smoky Mountains.

Marcie, Sam, Abby and Chris Ruzas.

On the way to whitewater rafting, we pulled over to get this amazing shot.  So pretty.

Addison and Chris made breakfast for everyone!


This day we went hiking and the kids all loved exploring in the creeks.



Looking for bears.

Love me my "little bit."

1,2,3!!!

 Love our time together...





We also visited the Dixie Stampede Dinner show.  
Lots of fun and food and horsemanship.  

"Southern Belle"
Addison went right up to her and said, "I was born in Mississippi and I am a Southern Belle too!"

The food is very abundant and each person had a whole chicken served to them and no silverware.  Part of the fun, I suppose.  Marcie shot this great picture of Addison when the waitress plopped a whole chicken on her plate.  
 
 Fun at the Dixie Stampede!



Beautiful sunset shot from our deck.
It was such a nice trip and visit, we all had so much fun!
