We had a busy, but wonderful 4 days with Grandma Roey and Pops. And surprisingly, not a lot of pictures were taken. We were just too busy to snap away. Really.
They arrived on Tuesday right on schedule and the heavy rains arrived shortly after they did. We spent Tuesday night teaching Nick how to play poker and he did really well and I know Gram would have been proud of the horseshoe he apparently has secreted away, if you know what I mean. I mean how many times have you won 5 card draw with 4 of a kind.
On Wednesday, we stayed home and played as the kids had basketball camps to attend to and Nick had football too. We cooked some steaks and fish on the barbie and celebrated Pop's retirement in high Halls style.
On Thursday, we went to Dollywood early to get the kids back to practice on time. Nick had a scrimmage and pretty much got beaten and bruised. He played really well, but his team stunk. Oh well, it was a good learning experience.
This was a ride I did not try. I just took the picture. Oh, look at the screaming people in the back row, right side.

We also played on new, "cool" ride called River Battle, which is essentially a water gun fight on small boats that ride around a small loop. After you finish the ride, you can commandeer a water gun on the side of the ride and soak the riders as they pass you by. Of course, they can, and will soak you too. Very fun on a hot day.
