For our 2nd day in Gatlinburg, we hit the road early to visit the Rocky Top Mountain Coaster. The entire family was ready for a fun experience and it turned out to be so much fun! We rode these single-person cars on a track that had been built into the mountainside, and we were able to go as fast (or slow) as we wanted using the brakes. Of course, my favorite way to ride was at full speed, ha! The funniest thing was that the kids figured out where their pictures were snapped during the ride and had a little fun with the camera. We laughed and laughed at their funny coaster photos!
After the mountain coaster, we drove into Pigeon Forge so that the kids could extend the fun by driving go-karts. They all turned out to be quite talented in the driving department, though Connor and Renee ended up getting tangled up in a kart crash with Uncle Jeb. They were all fine and laughed it off, though I think the impact was quite a bit more jarring than they anticipated, ha! Because of their crash, Kaitlynn managed to pull out a 1st place win on the second race which she was quite proud of!
After the go-karts, we decided to enjoy a nice lunch together and made sure the cousins had their own table together. We did some shopping afterwards, and by the time we made it back to the cabin, we were all pooped! It wasn't long before the kids passed out on their own - far different from years past when the Mommies had to rock those babies to sleep for their afternoon naps!
