Ober Gatlinburg

The day after Christmas, Steven and Lydia wanted to go up to Ober Gatlinburg and go ice skating. Samuel had never been, but he was so excited about it. He actually did really well for his first time.

Gramps and Grandma didn't want to skate so they were the official photographers. I'm not sure what they were doing in this picture though...

After skating we decided to go on the Alpine Slide. We took the chairlift up and then Samuel rode down with me. I knew he would love it and I was right. He laughed the whole way down and kept saying "Faster Mommy!" He wanted to do it again, but we had to leave to go to dinner. We'll have to go back another day since he had so much fun.

Samuel on one of the sleds that we rode down. He figured out quickly that pushing the lever forward makes you go faster. He leaned on it the whole way down!
