Gatlinburg Vacation, Part 1 - Cabin Life

As Isaac mentioned in the last blog post, we recently had the privilege of traveling to Ohio and then on to Tennessee for a little vacation with Nathan's side of the family.  We stayed in this luxury cabin overlooking Gatlinburg.

It was perched on the side of a hill.

As a result of its location, the cabin offered fantastic views of the surrounding mountains!

Isaac loved meeting all his cousins!  He especially buddied up with Daniel who is 15 months and more on Isaac's pace than the others. :)

It was so cute to watch them interact and "talk" to each other!

More play time.

Isaac also enjoyed meeting all his aunts and uncles.  Here he is having a ball with Aunt Elizabeth!



His overalls are a little long for walking! :)

Lots of games were played over the course of our stay.



A birthday party was held for 4 year old Mark.

A mini church service was conducted.

And the cabin hot tub was enjoyed by many.  
(Check out the stylish swim wear!)

The question was posed, "Who has the biggest biceps?"

Britton Muscle Men!

Next up - part two, in which we hike the Smokies!
