Here is a fabulously random assortment of pictures from our trip to Gatlinburg, TN. We hit all of the Ripley's museums, snow tubed, played golf, went up the Space Needle---we had a GREAT time!
Ben obviously only trick or treats for one thing...the candy. When he had a certain amount in his bag, he was done! He just rode in the wagon and let me pull him while the other kids got out and got candy.
What a great day we had in Columbus! Our day began at the museum for a Pirate Day. Pirates were everywhere. They started the day by firing a cannon that we watched from afar...it was very loud.
Poppa, Ben, Natalie and Nana
This fine pirate was showing Ben his gun. Thanks to Ben's favorite show on the History Channel, Lock N Load, he knew all about this gun!
This was one spunky pirate couple. Ben could not take his eyes off of them.
What was I supposed to do...just stand there and smile??
Ben and Natalie loved the cannon...even though it was loud!
After seeing the pirates, we headed over to Fort Benning and went to see the army tanks. Again, because of all of the T. V. watching I let my kid do...he taught us some stuff about the tanks!
We found Little Ben!
Nana and two of her sweet babies!
We couldn't think of a better way to end our day than to get ice cream at DQ!
Ben likes to say certain words and tries every chance he can to fit them into the conversation. He has had a great time sneaking 'pooh' and 'poop' into a sentence or coming up with words that rhyme with them. We have told him that they are 'bathroom words' and we don't say them unless we are in the bathroom. The other day Ben was helping my dad put up the camper. Daddy was unhooking the sewer pipe and placing it in the compartment on the outside of the camper. Ben said, 'Paw Paw, that is a poop pipe.' That's my boy!! 10/18/08
Michael and I were going out tonight and we were breaking the news to Ben. He replied with "It will just be Nanny and me. That is just the way I like it." 10/13/08
Love my Dachshund!!
We have a dachshund named Cadillac. He is 7 years old. I would love to post more pics of him, but he does not like the camera. We try to include him in our pictures when we can.
