September means it is time to go back to Dollywood.  We take the summer off to avoid the heat and crowds but as soon as all those kiddos go back to school, we head back over the smokey mountains for some fun.  Last week, we took a quick day trip with my friend, Lauren, and her two kids, Samuel and Annalee. We practically had the park to ourselves and the weather was perfect.
Also,  it was great to be with them as they saw the shows for the first time.  

Here are a couple of photos:

Annalee said her favorite part of the day was meeting the actors after the show.

You should have seen Lauren squeezing her long legs into this ride.  hilarious.  I like this picture because she is talking in it....you know she had some funny stuff to say as this all was happening! 

Annalee loves the boys and preferred walking with them to riding in the stroller.

riding the ducks....quack, quack

Annalee and Annabelle hanging out in the stroller together....don't they look like sisters!
