After Jeff and I were ready for the day we had to wake up sleepy head to join us!
The we rode into Pigeon Forge, got our tickets for that evenings Dixie Stampede show and then headed to the national park to see the sights. We were going to hike to the dome but the rode is closed until end of May so we were out of luck! We did stop at the Gap to get out, and take pictures, and do a little mini hike!
Matt on his mini hike on the Appalachian Trail!
Then as we headed back to town and back through the park we stopped to play in the snow at one pull off area.
One of 4 tunnels we went through that Matthew loved!
We made another stop at a cute little water fall for a picture!
Once we were back in town we stopped at a racetrack/mini golf place that had kid rides cause Matt had seen the train and wanted so bad to ride it.
he really liked it!
Next was to ride the airplanes
This was the 2nd ride in a row, he wanted to try the backseat of the same plane!
Then he went to check out the boat ride.
These 2 pictures were taken by the girl working the ride, she asked if I wanted her to take a couple pictures of him up close since it was hard to get one from the side of the ride!
And of all the rides there, he found himself a coin operated thomas the train ride!
Then it was back in line to ride the train again
Our last ride was on the carousel and this time mom rode with him!
Then it was back to the cabin to rest and change before the dinner show
love the view
When we went back to town we drove down the main rode the other direction and saw the WonderWorks building! It's so neat!
We also found the new Titanic museum which is supposed to open in a couple weeks. On the other side of the ship is an iceberg!
Enjoying a drink before the show
Checking out the arena
Us before dinner
The view of the arena after the show as we were heading out.
We had such a blast at the Dixie Stampede! Matt sat in awe watching every thing that went on. He cheered and just had so much fun! We will certainly have to go back again! Good food and awesome entertainment! What fun!
After such a full day we were ready to hit the hay when we got back to the cabin!
