Vacation in the Smokies

We just got back from a wonderful week long trip to the Smokey Mountains. We had so much fun and Ethan especially loved the attention and time that he spent with grandma and grandpa Jastifer!!:) We saw caves, lots of fish at the aquarium in Gatlinburg, wonderful views, but most of all we relaxed and played in the water, streams, did some hiking, grilled out great meals every night, and mom and dad even found time to read a book!! Ethan loved the cabin that we stayed in and he even learned some new tricks while we were there: He learned where his ear is, he can now climb up on picnic tables, couches, and coffee tables all by himself (not sure if the is good or bad??), and he learned that throwing things off the deck was lots of fun:) Despite the fact that he was ready to play at 5:45am EVERY morning, we had a relaxing vacation!! Our cabin for the week

Sting-rays are apparently funny to Ethan:)

Looks like you guys had a great and much deserved relaxing time!!

Ryan's getting a Ludwig Family Blog....how do I invite people to come see it? He's in WY right now....Reilly tore his liver in a motocross race. He was in ICU yesterday but we think he'll be discharged tomorrow. Since he was in the hospital it gave Ry a good excuse to go there, meet Rusty and Kirsi, grab Stig to come home with him and then head back. They'll arrive sometime tonight!! YEAH!! Stig's stay is indefinite?!?!? This all happened after we talked yesterday!

Have I gone to long on a blog comment, I guess I need to go read my blogging etiquette....

And what about Fred and that other guy? I'm thinking DeAnna already has her mind set on who she's asking...Graham, I would, he's a hottie!!

XOXO
