Meeting Cousin Baylor

We have been looking forward to this weekend for years! Finally, my sister and her family returned to the States after 2.5 years in Africa. Kaleb and Chase got to meet their cool cousin Baylor for the first time. Both Brett and Christie's immediate families rented a cabin in pigeon forge the first weekend they were in town. We spent quality time catching up with each other and getting to meet Baylor. I had met her before but she was only 3 months so it was exciting to see her develop into an adventurous little girl that could keep up w/ Kaleb. In the cabin, they played with playdo...
played pool...
and played on the bunk beds...
Then we decided to get out on the town and ride some gokarts....Kaleb and Papa kicked Jason and my bootie...The whole time Papa was driving Kaleb had an overstimulated blank look on his face. We were not sure if he was having fun or not. For once in his life, he was speechless. But now, when we're driving on the road, Kaleb will randomly bring up what a good driver Papa is and how fast they drove.
Then we all went for a little game of putt-putt. Chase had fun chewing on his ball.
One morning we drove around Cade's Cove and then took a swim in the creek. All of the kids loved it. Baylor doesn't get to play in the water in Tanzania b/c there are many diseases she could contract.
Then they chilled out and watched super dog on the computer while eating their fruit snacks.
It was a great weekend for all. I know Christie, Brett and Baylor were jet lagged but it was great to see them, finally!
