We Had a Fun Spring Break Trip to Pigeon Forge, TN

We took a trip to Pigeon Forge, TN for Spring Break.  We had a great time.  The boys enjoyed the hotel indoor swimming pool, waterslide, and hot tub.  They had a blast riding go-karts, trampoline bungee-jumping, watching Comedy Barn show and Smoking Mountain Opry Show, riding down the Alpine slide, finding their way through a mirror maze, feeding birds at Parrot Mountain, and playing in arcades. 

Brody had a few episodes of headaches, belly pains, chest pains, and back pain during the trip.  But he managed to feel good for most of the trip.  He was high-energy and ready to have fun, fun, fun most of the time.  But he does tire quickly and cannot keep up his fun-loving energy for as long as he would like.  He gets drained pretty quickly sometimes.  Once the tiredness sets in, it's there.   It's hard to see him wanting so badly to be able to keep up with his brothers but he just can't.  He gets so mad too at times that he gets so tired.  And, of course, the periodic episodes of sudden pains are not nice either. Fortunately, though, he has continued to feel well most of the time.  And, although he certainly needs a lot of rest, when he's up and moving for the day, he's at it full-speed ahead.

The boys had a great time hunting Easter eggs this year.  Unfortunately Bill had to be at work bright and early and could not watch it in person.  I video-taped it for him though. Click on link above and you can watch it too.

Brody had a head start looking for the eggs.  He had woke up in the middle of the night and remembered that the Easter bunny had probably come while he was asleep.  He was then too excited to go back to sleep.  After a few hours of him begging to head downstairs, I finally gave in and let him go check it all out before his brothers woke up.
