Great Smoky Mountains National Park

This was the picture of the toilet room all painted.  Eventually, I would like to replace the flooring in this bathroom so it looks better.  We plan to renovate the kids bathroom first.
        
I am trying to decide whether or not to hang a couple frames on the wall behind the toilet.
       
Harper tried out and was accepted to chorus this year at school.  They had their first concert this week.  I don't know what I was expecting, but I was so impressed!!
   
    
   
      
We decided last minute to sneak out of town for the weekend.  We went to Bryson City.
    
Ethan picked this room.
   
   
   
    
    
Harper picked the upstairs room.
    
The master was on the ground floor. 
   
     
In my hurry to pack, I forgot to grab Ethan's swim suits.  He had to wear Alex's and was not thrilled.
    
We all love a good hot tub!
    
      
It snowed a little bit overnight! 
      
      
       
    
We had a ton of hot chocolate this weekend.
     
   
     
We went to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park to hike on Saturday!  We saw three lovely waterfalls. 
    
   
    
   
       
     
   
    
    
   
   
   
          
   
     
It was so nice to hike again!
    
We had lunch in Bryson City.
   
   
   
    
The view when we got home!
     
     
    
    
We played some new games.
    
Alex and I made chili! 
    
    
      
Such a fun weekend!
