Pizzas and Beer

What pizzas! Ann and Karen are putting the last touches on the pizzas.

We are having a great time with Jay and Ann Kissel tasting all these beers. Katie Beth is having a blast, too.

Seeing Reindeer in the Rain

We stopped in to see the reindeer at the Galaxy of Lights. The weather made for a cold, wet, and windy visit with 2 reindeer. They had nice fur coats so they didn’t mind. Katie Beth and Karen enjoyed the fake snow.

But, I dropped Karen’s camera on the concrete. Bummer!

Cookies and Milk

Katie Beth is very excited about Christmas. She is worried about Santa Cluas, too. She has just finished placing out a plate of gingerbread cookies and a jar of milk, but she wanted to clean the fireplace before he arrives.

Christmas Upon Us

We are getting ready for Christmas. The tree is up. I have been traveling, but Katie Beth and Karen have been working hard to get things in order.

It won’t be long and Christmas day will be on us.

Wonderful Trip

We have been having a wonderful time. Poor Katie Beth has come down with a bad cold, but she has been a trouper even with an earache.

We have hiked a little, cooked a little, and relaxed a lot. We could be coming here again real soon.

Hiking Meigs Creek Trail

Our morning started out at around 33°F as we loaded up into the car. We headed into the Great Smoky Mountains in search of a good hike. We decided on the hikes near The Sinks.

The Meigs Creek Trail is a very nice hike with a very smooth trail and some nice views. The lack of leafs allowed us to see even more nice views. The trail is also very nice because you start at one creek and walk to another creek so you get to hear the rushing water.SPRINTGPS_Hiking_2011-11-25_14-53

Galaxy of Lights

We have a wonderful evening strolling through the Galaxy of Lights. The weather was just perfect with temperature in the high 60’s.

Allison Tofflemire and the Riggle’s Family (Elizabeth, Bob, Matthew, and Michael) joined us for the walk.

Katie Beth had fun visiting Santa Claus.
