~Our Dollywood Trip~

 

God really blessed us with an awesome trip to Dollywood!  The weather was decent most of the day – a little cool, but the rain held off until right as we were getting ready to leave.  The best part was that there was hardly anyone else there!  We road most of the rides at least twice if not three or four times, most of those were even back-to-back.  How many times can you go to an amusement park and do that?  The only downfall was that Melia could not go with us due to a mandatory test that she had to take today.  Thank goodness for season passes so that we’ll be going back several  more times (I hope) this year!

Here’s a few pics of our day today!

There were a lot more things that we road.  It really was a great day to go.  If you’re ever in Tennessee, you need to check out Dollywood.  It’s a great family-friendly park. 

Of  course, we crashed when we got home.   It sure does wear you out!  I wonder how tired they’re going to be at school today?

Menu Plan: 05/09 – 05/15

 

mpm-1

I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother’s day!  It’s another Monday here, except for the fact that were going to Dollywood on a school field trip today so that’s almost like having an extra weekend day!  The good thing is we already have our season passes so the only spending for us will be for gas and some food.   

Menu plan for the week will mainly be out of the pantry again this week. 

Breakfast:

Lunch:

  • Sandwiches
  • Leftovers

Dinner:

  • Spaghetti with sauce
  • Meal @ Dollywood but eating sandwiches on the way home
  • Grilled chicken with potatoes(maybe baked?) and another veggie (maybe broccoli?)
  • Spicy pork chops on the grill with a couple of veggies
  • Tacos with assortment of toppings
  • Homemade pizza
  • Leftovers

Not an overall exciting week menu-wise but I’m trying to use a lot of what I already have on hand to help keep out budget under control.
