vacations

Pam, Lesa and Jim in downtown Gatlinburg

Here we are at the entrance to Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies

Elijah enjoyed the trip also. Actually the trip was "all about Elijah" if
you know what I mean

Have you ever tried to pet a sting ray? It's harder than it sounds.

Here's Eli in front of some jelly fish. How can anything so pretty sting so bad?

Now Elijah knows how a fish feels!

Here's a chairlift that goes 1800 feet up the side of a mountain.

Pam and Eli on the chair lift together. They're the best of buds.

Jim, Pam and Elijah at the top of the mountain. The scenery was incredible. The
Smokies are beautiful.

Elijah loves to wrestle with his Dad.

Lesa looks even more beautiful framed by the Smokie mountains.
