pigeon Forge, day 3

Yesterday we stared out at a rollercoaster in the woods, which also goats to keep Teagan occupied while corey and I took turns riding with Carsen and Rosi.

We put goat feed in the little cup in front of the bike, and a little chain pulled the cup up to feed goats on the roof of the building.

 Then we went to Wonderworks, which is kind of a hands-on science / special effects museum.

After Wonderworks, we played putt putt and air hockey and swam at our condo, and then we enjoyed the Dollywood fireworks from our balcony (which I've decided is the most enjoyable way to enjoy fireworks).

And then we made the sensible and responsible choice to head out for a night ride on the roller coaster through the trees (and to say night night to the goats).

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

Pigeon Forge, day 2

For our first full day, we spent most of our time at The Track, which had fun rides for young and old.

We made it to Pigeon Forge, which is the epitome of tacky fun plopped down in the middle of beautiful mountains.

Corey just mentioned that he wants to buy some cowboy boots. Lord help me!

 
 
 

swimming

Like has been hectic, and posting photos has fallen by the wayside recently, but here are a few photos of Rosi's first swim meet tonight. Carsen's first meet will be next week.

All of the Self girls enjoyed cheering on the older kids during the meet.
