Honeymoon Day 5

We were so excited to play in the snow the next day that we woke up around 7:30 Thursday morning. We bundled up and headed out. We had about 10 inches of snow....10 INCHES! I don't ever remember that much snow...except maybe the Blizzard of 1993...but I was just 5 years old. It was A-W-E-S-O-M-E! I was so excited to use our $10 plastic sled from Walgreens that we had gotten the day before.  We had some awesome hills to sled down!

The windows in our bedroom were AWESOME! We woke up to a beautiful winter wonderland outside! We could not wait to get out there!!!

We headed out and attempted to sled down the hills.

 Outside our front door!

 Winter Wonderland!

 Sledding the FIRST time. 

The hill I TRIED to come down...

We weren't having much luck. The snow was so thick, it would just build up around us and we would stop. So...we got an idea. We decided to take the snow shovel at the cabin and make a path to sled down. That worked so much better!

This was the first time Kip tried to sled.  It worked out much better once we figured out that we needed to make a path!

This was after we made a path! So much faster and much more fun!! YAY!

I had to throw in a few of my goofy self sledding down the hill too! I had a blast and felt like a little kid again! :)

We enjoyed sledding, playing in the snow, making snow angels, having a small snowball fight, and eating the snow (mainly Kip!).

 He enjoyed taking a lot of pictures of his car in the snow...and I mean LOTS!!!

 Eating a huge snowball! :)

 Car pics...you see what I mean?

 7:30 am - in the snow - with no makeup :-/

Kip thought this would be a cool picture! Our rings on his Thin Blue Line bracelet.

After we played in the snow for a little while, we went in to eat some breakfast and warm up!  After sitting around watching TV for a few hours, I was SO bored and wishing that the roads weren't covered in snow, because I wanted to go SOMEWHERE! ANYWHERE!!  We we suppose to go to the Comedy Barn show at 8:15 that night, but with the roads all nasty, we knew that probably wasn't going to happen. 

Around 11:30 am, we see a truck coming down the hill. IT WAS THE SNOW PLOW MAN!! Oh thank you Jesus...we weren't going to be stuck forever!!! 

I was stalking him a little bit! HaHa! I was so excited, so we started to get ready for the night. Around 2:00 pm, the Comedy Barn calls and says they are cancelling the show for that night, but we could come Friday or Saturday. BUMMER! We moved our show to Friday. I was super sad. I did not want to stay in the cabin ALLLLLLL night long. So we decided to go back into Gatlinburg since we didn't get to enjoy it the day before.  So Kip goes out to shovel our way out of the driveway! 

We get ready and load up the car with the "ice melt" salt stuff and the shovel that were at the cabin and made the trek. It was a little scary at first...especially on the little one lane curvy, hilly roads we were taking! There was snow all over Kip's windshield...like 5 inches deep. He tried to get what he could off so he could see.  The scenery was gorgeous...I just couldn't really enjoy much of it - I was praying we would make it down the mountain with NO trouble!

 

We made it into Gatlinburg with NO trouble...of course! I'm just a worry wart! So anyway - we went to eat at Bubba Gump for an early supper and then spent a little time in Gatlinburg.  We played a 5D theater game...you sat on a thing that moved like a horse and you had to shoot at things. Kip beat me...of course, but it was fun! Then we played a game of black light putt putt. I really won, but told Kip that we tied since his ball went in on the 18th hole and mine didn't. 

We walked around, went in a few shops, and just enjoyed our time downtown...with very few people!

We headed back to the cabin before dark...just in case the roads got bad again, since it was suppose to be below freezing that night!

Only 1 day left! :(

Until Next Time,
