Christmas in Tennessee- part 3

We had so much fun in Tennessee we needed three posts to share it! On Monday we had the whole day to enjoy our hotel, Nashville and hang out with our cousins! We started with breakfast at Cracker Barrel. I have to say, until this trip we never really ate out in resturants with my kids unless you count chick-fil-a. This trip we did it quite a few times and only once was a disaster ;)

After a yummy pancake breakfast we headed over to Julie and Trey's hotel to go swimming! The kids had a blast and Reece looked so big in his bathing suit!

This is he only view we got of Tucker most of the time... His feet :)

After swimming we cleaned up a bit and headed to Opry Mills mall for a bit. We ate lunch at Moe's and then Grams let the kids rose this giant stuffed lion. They had so much fun!

So many grand babies they couldn't all fit in at once!

Poor Reece and Ryan were exhausted from lack of sleep. Ahem...Reece...yes this is at lunch

After the fun at he mall we headed back to our hotel for naps and then hung out there the rest of the night. That was our roughest night. The kids were exhausted, we were exhausted, and we were all grouchy. We are at one of the resturants on the hotel and then got some frozen yogurt. I think it was he only way we survived until bedtime! Let's put it this way: the kids were in bed at 7 and Ryan and I were in bed by 7:30...

The next morning. We went back to banner and granny's house. We did a little more horseback riding 

And Reece had his first taste of chicken and dumplins! He was a fan!

The next morning we headed back tom harlotre and spent he day/night with his parents before moving on to Raleigh on Thursday. We had an amazing trip but after ten days, we were ready to be home. The kids were too. 

We love traveling to see family and getting to spend time with them!
