Fall Break

For Fall Break we loaded up the RV and went to Gatlinburg

 The first night we stayed at a KOA in Townsend so Brian could stay with us and then go to work the next day at his office in Madisonville.  The second night we stayed at a campground in Pigeon Forge so  Brian could work in Sieverville the next day!

 Brinley and her best friend Ava...exploring at the campground.  The fall leaves were so beautiful!

  Brinley with Marco.  He was a good little puppy on his first camping trip!

 Getting ready to roast hotdogs and s'mores...yum!

 We got to use the pool that was across the street at the hotel.  It was only about 68 degrees outside but that didn't stop the girls from swimming!

 The Pumpkin Patch

 On the drive home we decided to visit Oakes Farm pumpkin patch.  It was a lot of fun with so much to do!  Oh and yes...this is what you look like after two nights of camping and letting your kids pack their own clothes!

 Brian was working so he didn't get to come with us :(

 Eating yummy funnel fries!

 I had to throw this pic in because of her tongue sticking out!

 This was awesome...they loved it!

 This was a huge barrel filled with corn

 We climbed to the top of a hill pulling ourselves up with a rope

 Austin going through the corn maze with his Go Pro camera.  He takes this everywhere and is always filming things...he is really good and makes awesome movies!

 Corn mazes scare me!  I hate them and panic when I can't find my kids...I lost Brinley for awhile!

 Jackson deciding which way to go!

 The serious cameraman!

 My girlies...the boys didn't want to go on the hayride...instead they went back to the RV to play video games ;(

 The kids loved this!  It was a huge bubble filled with air!

 And a fun Fall Break was had by all!!!

Spa day with Mom and Brinley

 Mommy and Brinley at the spa!

So Brinley got done watching My Little Pony and came up to me and asked if I had ever been to a spa?  I told her yes and she asked if we could go and get mud baths!  Well, we didn't get mud baths but we did get pedicures :)  Brinley was so excited to go, she ran upstairs and got herself ready (I was happy she matched) then of course, we had to match!

 

 Brinley's sweet little toes...with flowers!

 And her cute little fingers...with moons!

After, we went next door for frozen yogurt... 

 and she got to put her handprint on the wall!

                                           She loved this! 

Finally...a little shopping!  What girls day out wouldn't be complete without that?  She picked out a cute 

blue and cream stripped scarf.  We had such a great time together!

Brinley's lunch

THIS IS THE LUNCH THAT BRYNN BUILT!

 These are the things that were in the lunch that Brynn built...

 this is the banana...the orange and the orange juice that were in the lunch that Brynn built!

 These are the cookies that were with the orange...that were with the banana...

 that were in the lunch that Brynn built!!! 

So I came home at about 8 pm from going to a college thing with Austin and Brinley had decided to pack her own lunch!  She had made cookies all by herself (the precut pillsbury) and packed up yummy fruit and juice...I added a peanut butter sandwich :)

I can't believe my baby is six and making her own lunches!  Now if I could just get her (and the other kids) to do their own laundry!!!
