Wilderness at the Smokies

We vacationed with the Philleys in Sevierville at one of the Wyndham resorts. It was called Wilderness at the Smokies and we had a blast. There was an outdoor and indoor water park which included a lazy river, two wave pools, a toddler area, a kid area, and even four big time water slides/rides. We got their Saturday afternoon and settled the kids in for a quick dinner before hitting the water...

This is a picture of the slides from the outside. It was pretty cool; you get on and get off the slides from the indoor water park. So you're never going outside. Although you can still get sunburned (according to the signs), we were able to stay out of direct sunlight. The orange and white ride was a blast. You go through a tunnel for a bit then it drops you into this cone thing. You basically ride the walls going back and forth while on a raft with up to four people. Awesome! By the end of the week, Sam had ridden all slides but the orange one. This trip was a confidence-booster for him.

Laney sported her glasses on the car ride to Fuddruckers. Delicious burgers!

The kids loved sitting on the porch watching people go by. Or should I say "standing on the stairs". There wasn't a lot of sitting going on...

Ron had to go home a day early, so he got some good cuddle time in with the kids before leaving.

...and goodbye kisses

The little Philleys waved goodbye and were ready to go back to the water park 5 minutes later.

Later that evening we had a popcorn snack before bedtime. Laney grabbed Baba Dee's hand and said "Hold my hand, pwease"...
