Mima's Visit

This weekend my grandma and mom came down to visit. My mom was nice and changed her vacation to visit us so that she could be here for my cousin's wedding making it possible for my grandma to come too. We had so much fun with Mima. Friday we spent the day in Gatlinburg with Mima,Grandma, Gary and Maria (my dad's cousins who were also vacationing down here). We had so much fun.. Austin held a parrot on his arm which is AMAZING considering he is afraid of anything that moves when it gets too close to him. We ate breakfast at Flapjacks, which was good, but honestly I wasn't blown away. And we did some hardcore walking and shopping. My grandma had a hair appointment so after we dropped her off, we rode the tram up to Obergatlinburg.. this was a new experience for me that was totally scary and fun. While in Obergatlinburg we went to the black bear habitat and saw 6 bears as well as some native animals, like a skunk up close and personal but thankfully it was behind glass. We left obergatlinburg, picked up Grandma and went for a scenic drive through the Smoky Mountains. It was so beautiful.. it made my mom wish she were camping! So hopefully she will come back next year and go camping. Saturday we got up went shopping for a new outfit then went to the wedding. Sunday we went to church and then went to my Aunt's for another visit. On the way home we drove through downtown Knoxville so my mom got to see downtown and UT campus. Monday morning Mima and grandma left to my son's utter disappointment. He cried all day.. he was so depressed all he wanted to do was sit and watch televison. It was so sad.. he broke my heart. (Sorry there are no pictures.. we had a mishap with the camera so we are waiting for Maria to send us copies via email.. as soon as she does we will post them)
