December 22

Today was "Cousins Day"

We spent the whole day together roaming around and being spontaneuos. We started the morning with breakfast at Pancake Pantry and ate until we were stuffed beyond belief.


Our next stop was Ober Gatlinburg. Our original plan at Thanksgiving was to go skiing all day, but it's so warm there is no snow. So, we took the tram to the top of the mountain, rode the alpine slide, went ice skating, and saw the wildlife exhibit.






After our ice skating adventure we decided it would be fun to go to a hockey game, so we started researching. We found out that tonight is "Ugly Christmas Sweater night" at the game and the winner receives $1000. That was motivation for us. We then spent the afternoon shopping in thrift stores to put together the perfect outfits. 
We didn't win, but we had a great time. The Ice Bears did win and we think we now have a new tradition- "cousins day" and hockey games
Shelf found a nice high spot to perch himself and observe all that went on today with the old folks (since the young bunch was out and about)

  1. You guys are totally rockin' those outfits. I almost didn't even realize that it was supposed to be different from your normal attire. :)
