Vacation and THE 911 call

Oh boy, where to start?

It was Fall Break this week for the kiddos, so we decided to take a 4 night/5 day stay in Pigeon Forge Area,  the boys had a great time, and so did the hubs and I! If you're kids love the pool and water, this is a great place to stay, you really don't have to leave the property for anything, 4 big slides, wave pool, indoor/outdoor hot tub, (hot tub was the biggest I've ever seen, I think it said it held 113 people?) It was half indoor and half outdoor, so cool! Also had a regular pool, again half inside half outdoor! An arcade, candy store, several snacky type food bars, and a restaurant or two, and a arcade, with laser tag, indoor black light putt putt golf, and etc!
It also had a "gym" it wasn't very luxurious and it closed at 11:00, I'm so spoiled when it comes to my gym here at home, everything is top of the line (just how I like it) when I went in to workout, there was a young girl in there on the elliptical, and I felt very sorry for her, she may have only been in there "playing" like kids do, but I was thinking to myself, she would much rather be out playing with kids her age, her brother was also in there working out too, I would guess them to be 14-16 years old. They were watching the Disney Chanel!
I didn't really "diet" while I was there, but everytime I ate something fattening or greasy I got sick! The first night there we ate at Logan's, the hubs and I split the appetizer that comes with 3 items, we got potato skins without bacon for me, cheese sticks, and wings, I ate one potato skin and one cheese stick, and had that "grease headache" I ate one roll, diet coke, and a bite of my mom's salad! That's really not alot of food, but guarantee it was well over 700 calories including the peanuts, which is crazy! So I tried to eat better stuff for me, kind of hard on vacation, but I did try! We really didn't have any food, that was over the top great!

It was fun, and oh the slides, yea you climb like 4 flights of stairs to get to them, so I definitely burned some calories, doing that over and over!

The room was huge, 2 queen size beds, a twin sleeper love seat, our room had all the normal stuff, plus bottled water (for a fee), 20 foot ceilings, table for 2, stove with 2 burners, so they had a few things that were nice and unexpected, very spacious for sure, but we did pay almost $200.00 a night to be there!

The hubs and EE got to go to the UT game on Sat., I bought the hubs tickets for his bday back in Sept. they had a great time, and got back safely! Daddy came back bearing gifts and Bre stayed with me! At 80 bucks a ticket we weren't taking him or myself, so we stayed and played at the water park!

Now onto this lil guy/story! Bre wants to be a Ninja Turtle for Halloween, so his costume is ready to go, he is so very into the Turtles now, clothes, movies, and etc. I didn't buy him any of the ninja stuff other then the costume, well he has begged for the nun-chucks (not sure how to spell that) and I've said no, because I know what will happen to big brother if we bought those! :) So the boys went to the arcade and racked up points, and they had to split their points so each had just enough for nun-chucks, (yay us) so this morning while I was out getting Dunkin' Donuts, Bre had hit his brother or dad one with them (they don't hurt, they are foam, but trying to teach a lesson about not hitting) so dad put them up, I kind of laughed, was sitting in the bed drinking my diet coke, he stomped off and said I'm mad at you, he picks up the phone, like he did 100 times prior to this morning, and says I'm calling the police! He starts punching numbers and says "yes, come get Brandon (middle name) (last name), he just put up my nun-chucks and he is a big meanie, we laughed, and about 2 mins. later the phone rang, it was the POLICE DEPT.
They said the got a 911 call from our room number, so he really did call 911, I didn't even know he knew how, he is only 4! Then after we said sorry, that was our pre-schooler, we get a knock on the hotel door, it's security, saying they were informed we had an accidental 911 call, and they needed to make sure we are all ok! Needless to say he learned a lesson today, it was kind of funny, but he did learn a lesson!

Never a dull moment at our house with either boy! I'm pretty sure we won't forget this vacation for many reasons, but the 911 call probably tops them all!

Gotta love these boys!

We are refreshed now and ready to get back to school and work (I guess)

I'm not weighing in on Tuesday this week, I'm waiting until Friday! ha! I need a few days to get the vacation pounds off! :)
