Bellican Gatlinburg Vacation (part 1)


In mid-July, we went on a Bellican family vacation to Gatlinburg, TN. It was so nice to just get away, and relax, and spend some quality time with the family. And, it was Reese's first trip!

I wish I had pictures of our EXTREMELY STEEP hill we had to drive up to get to the cabin. I seriously felt like I was on the steep climb of a roller coaster. It took me awhile to get the courage up to drive it myself!

Our beautiful cabin with an incredible view.


Living Room
(the couches had just been cleaned, so the seat cushions are drying)


Kitchen


What the bedrooms looked like


Theatre Room!


Deck


Game Room

Some pretty views that we got to see every day:



We also got to see some wild life right outside the cabin.
Some turkeys...

At one point, Justin was outside and came running inside looking frantically for the camera. He kept saying, "I see a BEAR!...It's right outside near the driveway!"

AND SURE ENOUGH...

seriously so close to us!

That's one cool little black cub.
We didn't dare go near it, but it sure didn't seem to be bothered by us :)


Me and Reese


Sweet Melanie and Lucas


All the grandkids!
James, Anthony, Lucas, and Reese!


Rockin' on the porch


Justin reads early in the morning to the boys.


James slept on the pull-out bed in the middle of the game room, and Anthony slept in the bed room right next door. After Anthony woke up from his nap, he would go wake up James and sit in the bed and they would just read together and talk about the story. It was the cutest thing!


Best Buds!


Reese was just a doll ;)
(still sleeping a lot!)


Papa watches the boys, and they hang out in the theatre room.


Sweet Boys before bed time. All washed up, got their lovies, and now ready to read some stories! Matching jammies too! Thanks Meme!
