Sleeping with Penguins- TROOP 535 In Gatlinburg

We had so much fun with Troop 535 in Gatlinburg. We slept with the penguins, had the entire aquarium to ourselves and we got to meet MOMO the penguin. He tried to escape several times.
After several educational talks we headed to Anakeesta- SO NEAT. Top of the mountain swinging bridge, Blue Bell Ice Cream, Zip Lining (which we will have to go back and do) Fun times with the troop. We had somewhat of a wet ride down the chairlift but we ended up dry by the bottom.
So fun with these girls.

Memorial Day Bike ride in the Rain

 The girls insisted on riding their bikes. So daddy loaded them up for us and we went to the library trail. Half way on the trail the sky opened up and we were SOAKED. Thankful it was cool and not hot. We had fun. Rode for about 1.5 hours and then headed home for lunch.
