Each year at the conference, Tuesday is family day. We have done "stuff" in the past, but this year, I decided we were actually going to do something fun as a family so I did some Internet research before we left. We drove this year and so we planned a trip to Gatlinburg. We went to Gatlinburg last year, but we went with a bunch of other people and did not get to stay long. We left at 8:15am and got back around 5pm this time. Below are a few pictures from our stop along the river on the way there, black light putt putt, Play Land, more Putt Putt, Amanda's new favorite activity ("gem" mining) , bumper cars and just a sampling of the scenery. For me, this was the highlight of our trip so far and one of the most fun days I have had with my family in a long time. This is vacation! (press the PLAY button to see photos from the beginning)

Family Day in Gatlinburg
We are visiting Lake Junaluska Methodist camp for our Liberty Fellowship summer Family Conference. It is in the Smokey Mountains overlooking, appropriately enough, on Lake Junaluska. It is beautiful here...absolutely BEAUTIFUL.

The Coney Express
While friends are feeding our turtles and house-sitting, we are in Alabama for a few days on the way to North Carolina to attend our annual Liberty Fellowship family conference. Amanda's Aunt Jill (Brooke's sister) and Jill's husband, Jeff, have started a side business...The Coney Express. They've just been open for a week, and of course we had to stop by and sample the goods yesterday. I guess the whole family (Brooke's brother, sister-in-law and their 5 kids) are going with us today. If nothing else, I guess the family will keep them in business this week.
