Whew… It is actually late Thursday night as I type this, and I just finished an all day job of canning green beans. So, with another busy day ahead of me tomorrow I am throwing up a quickie post! This is a hodgepodge of pictures from our recent Gatlinburg trip…remember, the one that I forgot to take my camera on? I ran out and bought a point and shoot that turned out to be – well, not good. But, I am very thankful for the shots I got with it!

My girlies at the pool…

having dinner with cousins…

My husband, Stuart, with our girls

On the way to see the incredible lighting bugs, I hunkered down in the back of my sister-in-laws van in order to fit everyone in, this was my view from way back there:

Stu was with me in the very back and snapped this picture:

My hubs and brother-in-law (thankfully) letting me out…(I felt so claustrophobic back there!)

Bailey, Allie and Kennedy…

Bristol looking in from our balcony…

Kennedy looking cool at the pool…

Bristol thought it was SO funny to climb into this cabinet in our room!

All the grandkids

Kennedy and Owen…

My sweet Bristol just waking up…

Mimi curled all of the girls (except Bristol’s) hair one night, using pieces of fabric!

Playing in the creek – this was a favorite for all of the kids…

So, that is a few of my favorites from our trip

Happy 4th of July weekend! The 4th of July has always been one of my favorite Holiday’s – I love the cookouts, the fireworks, the parades, etc. I hope you all have a wonderful – and safe – weekend…. and try to stay cool!
