Spring Break, Part 2

Still having lots of fun in the hill-billy capital of the world! ;)

This picture was taken the day we got in, but it's still a nice picture with the lovely landscape... apart from the fact that we're all yucky and gross from an early morning of plane travel ;)

Yesterday we were still going strong! In the afternoon, we saw what ended up being my favorite show so far, SIX. SO FUN! They are a group of 6 brothers (but there are 10 total in their family) and they are an AMAZING a Capella group. It was so much fun to watch! They are so talented and are so funny and it was awesome.


Unfortunately, you can't take pictures in any of the shows, so we don't have a ton of pictures from this day.

In between shows we drove by a theater showing something called "Liverpool Legends" who are basically Beatles impersonators. We saw these outside their theater :)

We all live in a yellow submarine... :)

Bugs are seriously my favorite car!!!

After SIX, we ran over to Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede.


So cool! It's a dinner attraction, so we had dinner while watching a fun show in a large arena with amazing horsemanship and songs and dancing and it was a lot of fun. There was a competition between the audience sitting on the "northerners" side and those on the "southerners" side. We were sitting with the southerners (which grandma didn't like). Everything was finger food (or so they said) so we didn't get any silverware! And then they serve us a whole rotisserie chicken that we get to pick at with our fingers...so we got a little messy. There were fun horse races and pig races (watching the pigs jump over the hurdles was probably one of the funniest thing I'd seen) and we in the south won the competition! It was a really fun show.

Here we are in the lobby before Dixie Stampede
(sorry it's a little bright)

After that we walked around the lakeside shopping center and looked at shops. We stopped at Bass Pro Shop and John has decided he wants a boat ;)

we liked this party boat we found ha ha



On the way back down the lake, we watched a water/light/fire show in the shopping center courtyard, it was pretty cool!




John also got a cool video!
(PS there's sound)


And now I think this post is getting a little long too, so I'm going to start another one again ;)
