Our Summer in Review . . . First stop Tennessee

Summer ... Oh lovely Summer ... the Kassouf house is a totally different place in the summer and it was AMAZING! This year our summer trip started with a week in Pigeon Forge Tennessee.  This was for the Barrett Family reunion which is my mom's extended family.  We stayed in a large cabin with 17 bedrooms! The week was full of fun things, which included horseback riding, touring downtown Gatlinburg, visiting the yarn store, riding the Gatlinburg Mountain Coaster, lunch at Applewood Farmhouse Restaurant, outlet shopping, indoor snow tubing, and visiting "The Sinks" waterfall in the National Park of the Smokey Mountains.  

Horseback Riding was a fun adventure, Elisha got to ride with Andrew. Unfortunately, one of my cousins got thrown from a horse so an ER visit was needed.  Thankfully she was okay just very sore and stiff the rest of the week.  

The Mountain Coaster was a ride that you control as you ride down the mountain and it goes approximately 30 miles per hour.

The yarn store was a fun adventure where Rebekah even go in on the fun! 

Snow tubing was a huge hit! There was a warehouse that was built around the side of one of the mountains and using the incline of the mountain they created a huge hill inside which you snow tubed down.  We had an absolute blast! Rebekah got in on the fun and played in the snow pit.  

We also went to visit "The Sinks" which was a set of waterfalls in the Smokey Mountain National Park.  We wanted to visit this site 2 years ago but never made it, I was so happy to get there this time! It was absolutely beautiful. God's creation never ceases to amaze me!
