. away from home .

. i'm away, and miss home, but then i do really love home . i am having a great time away though . i'm in south carolina for my cousins wedding, if you don't already know . my mom and i left early to visit a friend of hers (and now a friend of mine) that lives in tennessee .

. there were lots of stops at gas stations . lots . that's a long drive !

. candace took us to a brand new museum in pigeon forge on wednesday, it was all about the titanic . i learned so much i never knew about the titanic, and i had even seen the movie !

:)

. no photos inside .

:(

. but here's a shot from the outside .

. then we went into the smokie mountains .

. candace has three little ones . they stole my heart in the few short days i spent with them . they had me continually laughing, maybe i'll sure a video so you can laugh too !

. here's the sweet ally .

. and the one who constantly had me laughing, kaleb . he's my buddy !

. then there's travis . this was one of the few times he could have been found sitting .

:)

. he has stuff to do, so watch out .

. while sitting outside visiting in the afternoon ally started bringing me every different variety of leaves that they had in their yard . i ended up with a lap full, we put them in one of my books so they would dry out . i can't wait to do something fun with them . here's one of the cool leaves she brought me . have you ever seen anything like it ? i haven't .

. ally was constantly impressing me with her hunger for knowledge .

. and i got 'flowers' from the boys . the photos seriously make me melt !

. ahhh . i love em!

. good times, wedding tomorrow, going to bed .
