We spent a few days in Gatlinburg over our fall break. One of the first things we did when we hit Sevierville was to take a helicopter ride. Kelsey didn't like the loud noise, but loved the view. We were about 1250 feet in the air and had a beautiful view.
Here is Rusty and Kelsey getting ready for our ride. Kelsey had the opportunity to sit up front with the pilot, but she chose the backseat with dad.
The next day we headed into Gatlinburg and rode the tram up the mountain to Ober Gatlinburg. On the way back down Kelsey found a hole in the floor. She spent the entire ride on her hands and knees looking out the hole. There was another little girl there as well and they took turns watching the trees pass by as we rode down the mountain.
Kelsey and I rode the alpine slide. She did most of work and controlled the brakes. The faster the better, so we didn't use it much!
Here is a quick family pic.
After we got down the mountain we hit a mine in town. We chose a bucket of sand and Kelsey found several "pretty rocks." She had the best time and didn't want or need our help. Once we showed her a few times; she had it under control.
This is the closest Kelsey got to Santa. Looks like we are going to have to wait another year for her to sit on Santa's lap and tell him what she wants for Christmas. She did write him a letter and mail it while we were there.
We also spent some time at one of the small amusement parks. It had a large section of kiddie rides and 2 big go-cart tracks.
We had a great mini vacation and can't wait for our next trip!
