We picked up Noah early from school yesterday and headed up to Dollywood for the afternoon and evening. The weather was perfect and there was no waiting time for most of the rides there. When we arrived, we worried a bit because it was packed, but found that most of the people were there to see the Christmas shows. You would not believe the lines for those shows (Wow!)! We enjoyed the roller coasters first and then we got to experience Adventure Mountain - something we hadn't done yet this year due to the line volume during our other trips. Adventure Mountain is a new attraction this year and it was really cool! The kids loved it. Rachel was just tall enough and wasn't afraid at all, even though there were parts where you were several yards off the ground simply walking across a steel beam with nothing to hold onto but the rope to your harness. Both she and Noah said it was the highlight of their day and can't wait to do it again. After that we headed over to the 'Country Fair' area and the kids enjoyed the traditional rides they continue to love... We wrapped up our day when it grew dark (and cold), enjoying the Christmas lights on our way out. After we left the park we enjoyed Corky's Barbeque, a long time favorite of ours before we picked up Miss Kate from Mom's house. It was a great day!
