We had a great family vacation in Tennessee last week...
kicking off with an afternoon baseball game in Denver!
Best. Game. Ever!!!!
Not only did we go with some of our best friends, but we got to see Gonzalez hit a grand slam and then cheered the Rockies on to a win with a walk-off home run by Story! Pretty Epic...
Then a quick & easy flight into Knoxville was met with a wonderful surprise announcement:
We are getting a new member of the Hightower family!!!
The 6th Hightower grandchild, Miss Charlotte Rose, will be joining our family in early December!
She will have lots of silly cousin love to share in:
Papa & Yaya treated us to an absolutely fantastic day at Dollywood's Splash Country waterpark.
We had beautiful weather, we rode ALL the rides, we enjoyed the luxury of a cabana for rest time and meals, and the grandkids were all tall/old/brave enough to take on even the most challenging waterslides...
THEN vs NOW
2011 vs 2016
The rest of the week was spent sharing quality time together at the house. There was much laughter, lots of good food and family visits, minimal tears/time-outs/scuffles, plenty of foosball tournaments and playing in the neighborhood pool, a trip to the movies and of course a night of s'mores and fun around the fire pit!
Looks awesome! We have to make it out to Dollywood. Hopefully it will be on our list in the next couple of years. Sounds like an amazing baseball game, too!! Cannot believe we weren't even in the same state at the same time...someday
