Ober Gatlinburg

Wednesday we left mom at home to relax and play with her circut while we went to Ober Gatlinburg to play. It was a beautiful drive up to the top of the hill! Once we got there Dad got us wrist bands and we went off to play. We started out on the Alpine slide, it was awesome! You take a chairlift to the top of the slide, then slide down as fast as you dare (and the person in front of you lets you!) Wes was terrified to get on, but as soon as we started down the hill he realized that it wasn't scary, it was FUN! He loved it. After we got to the bottom of the hill, we decided to ride on some of the waterslides. I took wes on the bumpy waterslide but he HATED it, so I went by myself the second time. Jon and Ella rode a few times and dad and I let wes ride the "Cars" car ride. Then we decided to take the chair lift up to the top to the senic lookout. It was cool, the lift is so steep! Then we tried to go on the slide again, but it started raining so the closed the sign. So we headed back down and went on some more waterslides. Then we had lunch at the car. AFter lunch, the rain had cleared up so we tried the alpine slide again. JUST as Ella and I got on the chairlift the guy announced that the slide was closed again. It was too late for us, so we were stuck going up. then the heavens opened and we spent the next 10 min getting SOAKED by the rain stuck on the chairlift. We had lots of fun back at the bottom going on the waterslides, the mini golf course and the maze. The weather did finally clear up and the slide was dryed so we got to go 4 or 5 more times down the slide. Ella got to drive herself down and she loved it! She definitely has a need for speed! It was a super fun day!
