Will, Christy, and Opryland

This last weekend we were able to go and visit Will and Christy and their girls in Tennessee this last weekend. It was a great trip and the boys love getting together with their cousins, probably because of all the unusual girl's stuff they get to play with while we're there :0) This was some kind of store they had set up, complete with shopping cart.

Kaylee and Cambri cannot get enough of Waverly! They loved holding her and helping me get her dressed. They had lots of really good advice for me on how to take care of a girl. Thanks girls! I need all the advice I can get in the girl department.
Then Will and Christy took us to Opryland which is a Hotel/Convention center but soooo much more. This place was HUGE and completely inside. This is a map of Opryland that they had there, complete with all the holiday attractions they had going on.
It was an incredible place and all decorated for Christmas. Here we are standing by the side of the river that goes throughout the "Delta" and that's the actual hotel in the background.
There was so much to see. Lots of plants and gardens and waterfalls, all inside, did I mention that?

This was the life sized nativity in front of the hotel. And you can see the trees in the background completely strung from top to bottom in white lights. These trees lined the drive up to the hotel. I still cannot even fathom how the wound lights around every single little branch!
Here are the kids trying to see the water show they had in the Delta. It was set to lights and music.
This is a little video of the finale. It was really impressive. And luckily none of the boys had a desire to run through the water.

Thanks Will and Christy for a wonderful weekend. We had a blast! A great way to start off Christmas vacation! We love you guys!
