Can you say "diva?"
She is something else!
Michael and Brad have been friends since high school. No way was a little rain going to stop their fireworks show!
That was during a break in the rain. It eventually started pouring. When it slacked to a drizzle, we all sat on the porch while the boys stood on the road with umbrellas and shot off the fireworks. Fun!
The girls and I took off the next day to spend a night in Johnson City before heading to Pigeon Forge with Granny. Olivia had been begging to see her cousins and we picked a great day to visit. They were heading to the pool when we got there! Olivia did great. Watching Maggie and Aubrey swim helped ease some of her fears and she was going underwater by the time we left. Uncle Brett helped her, too.
The next day, we headed to Lilo's for lunch.
We had planned a few weeks ago to spend 2 nights in Pigeon Forge with Mom and go to Dollywood. We haven't been to Dollywood yet this year, so Olivia was VERY excited! Unfortunately, she was still about 1/2 inch too short for the next set of rides (you have to be 42 inches. She was measuring 41.5 wearing shoes with a THICK sole, ha!). Maybe by the Fall she will be tall enough!
Still managed to ride her favorites, like the Shooting Star and Ferris Wheel:
It was the perfect day for Dollywood. Not terribly hot and humid. Paige did great! There are a few nursing stations around Dollywood and we took a break for a nap in one.
The next day, we headed into Gatlinburg and walked around for a bit:
It was a nice little getaway!
When Paige was born, our sweet neighbors across the cul-de-sac got Olivia a butterfly garden kit. I finally remembered to order the caterpillars a few weeks ago. It has been really neat watching them spin the cocoons and emerge. We had 5 butterflies that Olivia set free today.
