Basketball House!!

This weekend, we went to Gatlinburg, TN for Mommy's birthday present from a couple of months ago. We stayed at a chalet that had a f0ld a hoop basketball hoop. We actually scoped this basketball hoop out in advance and couldn't pass it up.

We started off poorly on this trip with an ear-shattering, lengthy meltdown at the Pancake Pantry. Most of the meltdowns this weekend were from starting to leave the "Basketball House," taking away his iPhone (Mommy's) or the iPad (darn you, Steve Jobs!) or leaving the aquarium. We had lots of "conversations" with Bradley about why hitting Daddy is not nice and wherein we provided some alternate strategies to hitting. In between, Bradley had a really good time shooting baskets, seeing penguins, driving by "Dick's Restaurant" (a restaurant with a man's face on it where patrons where condom hats -- "See Dicks with the face on it," was a constant hilarious battle cry), going to the toy store, playing at the arcade, etc.

We pretty much got it together eventually, and had a good time at a Mexican restaurant, and at the Applewood restaurant in Pigeon Forge late Saturday and early Sunday.
