The River Battle

One of the great highlights of our Dollywood trip was riding the newest ride called "Water battle". We came around to this ride from the back and didn't really check it out before we decided to all hop on together. Even Annabelle could ride since she was allowed to sit in my lap. So we piled on these boats that had guns you could pump water through and shoot at the other boats. What we didn't realise, was that these same guns were all along the shore for onlookers to soak the passengers of each boat as it went by. So here we were, riding through this river with grown men drenching us without mercy from the guns on the shore. They were shooting us in the face. It was hilarious. I am sure that we set a record for being the loudest two boats to go through all of this. Kiah and Lanie were crying, I was screaming, "I have a baby in my lap!" and most of the others were shrieking like girls. I wish we could have gotten a picture as we exited, soaking wet.


But wait, it gets better......the best part was shooting the boats from the shore which we did for at least another thirty minutes. Caleb and Adam thought it was the greatest ride on earth so they rode it over and over while we drenched them from the sidelines. It was so fun.


Another highlight for me personally was riding the rollercoasters with Amie, Chuck, Jonathan, and Beth. In fact, Mimi braved one of the scariest rides with us too.
