We asked if we could take the grandkids with us to Pigeon Forge. They agreed, but we did not tell the kids where they were going. They thought it was sooo neat because we were going on a "mystery trip". Actually they had not been to Pigeon Forge since they were one and two years old, so they did not remember it. And....this was our first trip away with just the grandkids.
We only stayed two nights, but in those three days and two nights, we got to re-experience Pigeon Forge from a child's eyes.
Our grandkids are three and four years old. It was the little things.......
Our hotel room had a hot tub. They wanted to wear their swimsuits and play in the BIG BATH TUB and watch TV at the same time. They were in heaven. They thought that was soooo cool.
From our balcony, we could see the giant cross. Our grandson got so excited............he wanted to know if that was the cross that Jesus died on.
They with granddaddy road the Big Farris Wheel. Mimi does not like heights and has vertigo bad, so she stayed on the ground.
We did many things...........fed the bears, went to the Comedy Barn, ate at the Apple Barn and of course made a stop at the Disney Store....cause that is what grandparents do.
They wore us out.
But it was worth every bit of it.
Sometimes in our busy, hectic worlds..................it is fun to just slow down and enjoy a "Mystery Trip" moment........................especially through a child's eyes.
