The Graham Family Four: Thanksgiving In Nashville...Part 1

Dalton and Colton on the shuttle bus to the showboat for a lunch cruise and show. Dalton loooved riding the bus!

This year, we were fortunate enough to go on a wonderful trip to Nashville, TN for Thanksgiving! Zack's parents treated us to a wonderful vacation at Opryland in Nashville. It was really the experience of a lifetime. The hotel was absolutely gorgeous...I've really never seen anything like it. We had such an amazing time and got to see so many shows...here's a little sneak peek into our trip!

Daddy and Dalton at the lunch cruise and show with "Shotgun Red"

Anna and Aunt Amanda

Anna took a very good nap after lunch and during the show...snuggled up with Grandma!

"Hi!!!!"

These pics were taken at the Shrek Ice event. It was a walk through event with room after room of Shrek ice sculptures. At the end, there were slides made of ice. Dalton loved it! Unfortunately, the rest of us were slightly miserable...it was FOURTEEN degrees in there!!!!!
Also-I may have had a slight nervous breakdown while in the slide area. It was full of probably 100 people (mostly kids) wearing the same blue parkas as pictured above. Well, we were all in there and somehow all got split up. I saw Dalton one time getting off the slide and say "I'm going to do it again!" He then disappeared into a sea of blue parkas. I looked around and couldn't find anyone in our group. I just searched for probably 5 minutes and still couldn't find anyone. Then I just focused on finding Dalton. After probably 10 minutes my hands were literally about to fall off and my face was numb but my heart was pounding and I was totally freaking out. I COULD NOT see him or anyone else in our party for that matter. I was 0.2 seconds from screaming his name at the top of my lungs when I decided to call Zack's dad (I knew he had his phone with him) and see if he knew where anyone was. Key point-once you leave that area you cannot get back in. He answered--and, thank God, told me they were all right outside looking at ornaments. DEEP sigh of relief!! Took about 30 minutes for my heart rate to return to normal, however!
