Matt enjoys Pigeon Forge

One of the highlights of the trip for Matt was a visit to the Dinosaur Walk Museum, which contained a number of life-sized dinosaur recreations.

Brandon and Matthew had lots of fun upstairs. One of their activities was the creation of a huge pillow fort. Here, they're gathering pillows and blankets to create a fort around the pool table.

One night a group of us went to Professor Hacker's Lost Treasure Adventure Golf. Here, Matt is quite serious about lining up his shot. I was sure he was going to have a better score than me but I squeaked out a win. Just barely.

After family pictures on Thursday, the entire family piled into cars and headed to Corkey's for some fine Tennessee barbecue. If you're ever there, I *highly* recommend the turkey. It is fabulous. And where else can you ride a pig???

Chase and John bought some fireworks while we were there. They didn't forget the little guys and bought plenty of sparklers and spinners. As you can tell by that smile, Matt had a great time!
