Dollywood Day

Yesterday we went to Dollywood with our entire family -- minus Sidge. We hadn't been in quite some time. Sidge just isn't an amusement park guy so he didn't want to go. We were specifically going for Hannah's 13th birthday (which was a few weeks ago.) It used to just be Abigail and Hannah who rode the coasters, but now, Abigail does too. I also rode coasters! I rode Mystery Mine, Firechaser, Barn Stormer (twice), and Dragon Fly. Then I felt sick and stopped. :) We had a fun day together as a family.

Japanese Students

My Aunt Jan is teaching eight Japanese students through Tusculum University. On Saturday, they came to the farm for a tour. It was short and sweet, and Jan got some photos for us:

Hannah turns 13


I have never thrown a surprise party. But I did it! I pulled it off. We invited some of Hannah's friends to meet at THE FACTORY ADVENTURE in downtown Greeneville for a fun afternoon of pizza and cupcakes and hang out time. It was great! I now, officially, have four teenagers. 

Nala and Brianna (two new friend)
