Knoxville trip

For Christmas vacation we spent a few days in Knoxville, Tennessee. We spent Christmas morning at home opening presents and then that afternoon we headed out on the road. We had a lot of fun while there.

Lots of smiles.

Landon is entertained by Toy Story thanks to Santa.

We went to the Knoxville Zoo while we were there and it was very cold! Most of the animals were not out so we are glad it was free for us thanks to our handy dandy Zoo membership.

Katelyn's mittens kept coming off so she wore Ben's gloves.

The zebras were one of the few animals that braved the cold weather.

We originally wanted to go to Gatlinburg to see the lights but it turned into a winter wonderland while we were there which was really neat.

We told him to stay out of the snow, but he loved trekking through the stuff!

We also went to the Gatlinburg Aquarium. It was expensive but the kids had a lot of fun.

This penguin was lots of fun. He would follow the kids from one side of the tank to the other. Katelyn was afraid of him though and kept moving further back:)

We were so glad Ben got two days off of work to celebrate Christmas because it gave us time to explore this neat city. We missed spending the holidays with our families but having a mini vacation with just us was a lot of fun too.
