Dollywood Vacation 2017

Part of the vacation in Tennessee was a visit to Dollywood for two of the days.
Ferris Wheel, curtesy of the nice lady in front of us. I was so worried the kids wouldn't be able to stand the waiting in lines, but luckily they weren't too long.
Kiddy rides. Claire loved this boy behind her who was older, but mentally challenged and kept exclaiming and clapping his hands during the ride.
We went to the water park in the morning and then went to Dollywood in afternoon to hit up the rides one last time.


Ted took a nap while Claire rode the rides over and over. There is no line and there are 4 rides right next to each other.

Ted loves his sister!

Ted did these rides the first day, but not the second.
Cousin Bryson, Caleb, and Austin with Claire
Mommy and Claire rode the elephant!
Ted did it with Aunt Haley.
More Ferris Wheel fun. I'm glad they handled it well.

Always snack time when we wait in line.
They let us do this ride twice in a row with just switching the kids. That was so nice! The kids drove the car around the track.



Here was a firehouse playground with large legos. Claire loved the water and the slide, Ted loved the legos.


Cousins found us!
Birds of prey show.

Train ride!



The train was Ted's favorite!
Claire fell asleep on the way there and so I tried to transfer her, but we had to ride a tram into the park, so I had to move her. Ted loved the tram. It was times like these that it was a little difficult to be a single mom on this trip, but we survived and the kids were good sports.
