Jones Family Mountain Fun

This past weekend we were able to gather with most of Justin's family in Pigeon Forge, TN. We had a great time visiting and hanging out together. On Monday we took a trip up to Cade's Cove and had a family picnic. After the picnic we went on a scenic drive and saw a bear up close. We also got to see some wild turkeys and a deer. The weather was perfect, and we had a great time together. On Tuesday we went to Dollywood, or "Hollywood," as Madeleine kept calling it. Papa and Grandma Jones went with us to watch some of the great shows there. If you have never been to Dollywood, you have to go! It is truly an amusement park that has fun for all ages. Micah was able to ride his first ride, and Madeleine went crazy on the scrambler with Justin. We were exhausted when we left, but it really was a fun day. Justin and I were even able to sneak away for a bit to ride a thrill coaster. We will be travelling to Illinois in a few weeks, and we are looking forward to seeing all the Jones clan there too!
