Top of the Mountain

Top of the chair lift

My trip to Ober Gatlinburg was very fun, but I only have pictures from the top of the chair lift. I could have sworn I took more pictures than that, but apparently not. It's okay though, because some of my best memories of the trip happened at the top of the mountain. First, the view is gorgeous, gentle and majestic at the same time. This is a mountain I wanted to hike up. I'm like as not to see a hill and climb it. Second, all the boys loved it. It was strange because there was nothing to do but look and listen, when the band was playing. Third, there was a band. 

Future stars and cowboys

When they started to play, the twins, Robert and Owen, started dancing, just like they were at a hoe-down. And when the band asked the boys to come on stage and put on a cowboy hat and sing, the twins were gone before you could blink. Jeremiah needed some extra encouragement. When Owen was handed a microphone I thought he was going to swoon! He and Robert went to town on She'll Be Coming Around the Mountain. I couldn't stop laughing, I wish I'd recorded it. 

View from the top

We were fortunate that it only sprinkled a little and the sun didn't come out from behind the clouds until nearly 4. I think Ober will be a place will will want to revisit next summer and perhaps this winter; the twins want to learn to ski, heaven help us.
