Vacation: Dollywood!!

Dollywood here we are!! We conveniently acquired some free tickets to Dollywood by listening to a timeshare spiel so Monday was our day to enjoy it. Abby had never been on any rides yet so we were a little hesitant on how she would do, she may look like a 3 year old but she's only 19 months! She of course loved all of them and really didn't want to get off.


Our first ride was a 50's car that was on a rail. I figured out it helped if I drove and it wasn't so bumpy. Abby isn't quite road ready yet.


We next tried the carousel and Abby was to have none of it! She was clinging to Tim before it even started. You could hear her crying as she came around the corner. She wasn't the only one though, there was a chorus of unhappy children on the ride.


As you can see Abby got over her carousel issue and took on the Lucky Duck ride. She loved it. There were buttons to play songs and she did a lot of steering. We rode this ride quite a few times.


Next was the Piggy Parade and as you can see Abby is waving to the crowd. I think Grandma is back there taking pictures. She was also blowing kisses which was too cute. She was quite the crowd pleaser.

Busy Bees was next. This was the first one that went up in to the air and she handled like she had been flying for years.

We were at Dollywood for almost 6 hours. It is a really fun place, and it's definitely a different experience with a toddler and kiddie rides. Abby had a great time and now asks to go on rides daily. We ended our evening with a ride on the Dollywood Express and headed back home.
