Earley family vacation

The Earley family is wonderful. All of them. They rented this cabin in the Gatlinburg area for their annual family vacation (family meaning Matt, Arrington, Stevie, Matt's parents- Ron & Betsy, Grandma, Aunt Lissa, cousins Tom, Christie & Donnie, sister Molly & her husband Tim, and more on the way), and they invited us to join them for the weekend! We met up with Matt, Arrington and Stevie (at McDonald's) on Saturday and after a brief stop at the outlet mall, we decided to make our way to the house. Fortunately, we learned that we couldn't take our car inside the development because we didn't have a guest pass. I say fortunately because it very well may have ended up in a ditch on the side of a mountain (like Matt's aunt's car did... AAA rescued it). Apparently "Tippy Top" is an appropriate name for this cabin. It literally was on the top of a mountain. A very steep, non-paved-roads mountain. David, Matt, Tom and Ron ended up pushing me, Stevie and Arrington (in the car) up the steepest part, because their car couldn't handle it. After everyone arrived safely at the house, we all got a good laugh out of it.

We love the Earleys!

Since the journey to and from the house was a bit of a nightmare, we stayed at the house for the night. We grilled out and sat around for hours talking. We had a blast.

Oh, and Arrington (who is a hairdresser) cut my hair! She took several inches off and gave me a great summer bob. I love it!! (Ignore it in the pictures above though... we took those the morning we left, and none of us had showered.)

We were so sad to leave, but we know they are having a great time this week! Thanks for letting us share in your family fun! We love you guys!
