Gregs Birthday Weekend March 20

Well today is Saturday and it is Greg's 37th birthday. He had to preach today and I don't remember what exactly the sermon was about except he did go on about Poop. It was very funny for all of us to listen to him say Poop really loud up front. After church we drove over to Bruster's for free ice cream. Today at Bruster's if you wore you pjs you got free ice cream. The kids weren't to happy about this, especially Jordan. Peyton and Brandon slipped their pj's on over their clothes...Jordan on the other hand I only brought along her footed pj's...she was so embarrassed I almost had to drag her out of the car. But, we all got 5 free waffle cones and they were good!!

We drove to Sevierville to use the 4 zipline tickets Greg and I had gotten free after our honeymoon. We only got 4 tickets, so since the last time we tried to get Jordan to go on the zipline at cohutta she wouldn't do it...so I didn't know how it would be at this place. The tickets were 89 dollars a piece so since we only had 4 I was going to sit out. We got lucky though because since it was Greg's actual birthday he got to go free...so now we all had a ticket. Jordan didn't fuss at all and did all 6 lines. They all loved it. It was really cool at this zipline because they let you spin or hang upside down or do whatever you wanted.


Then we went to MagiQuest. The kids all had their own wand and got to run around waving their wands and find certain items to complete their quest. Seemed a bit weird to me, but it entertained the kids.


Slept over at Greg's brother's house. Then got up in the morning to go skiing. None of the kids had ever been skiing, so this was very interesting. It was hard trying to teach the kids how to snowplow and stop. I don't think they ever really got it. Brandon was the first to just take off and go down the hill. He only had one big wipe out. Peyton learned how to slow down and turn. I tried to teach Jordan how to snowplow by skiing behind her and holding on to her...bad idea..we both wiped out. By the end of the day everyone was able to get on the chair lift and go down the hill without help. Next time maybe we'll go skiing during the winter :)
