Got up earlier, Ashley’s ankle doing better. Went into Pigeon Forge to tour the Titanic Museum. I was worried the kids might get bored but they seemed to enjoy it. I was soured from the start when they made us wait an hour past our reserved time to let a travel club go in front of us. We were given identities that resembled our gender and age. All the kids and Lesa survived, I was killed. Kids upset we didn’t buy stuff from the gift shop. Went to Taco Bell for lunch. Then we went to Smokey Mountain Alpine Coaster and we rode coasters down a mountain, kids were thrilled, it was fast. Bruce rode tandem with Lesa and was screaming I hate this, I hate this, I LOVE THIS. Dwyane rode with me and screamed I want my mommy over and over again the whole way down, as soon as we stopped he wanted to do it again. We didn’t, and the kids got upset, Bruce complained vehemently and Dwyane cried. We couldn’t really afford to keep going down but we wanted to give the kids a thrill ride and succeeded. Took the kids to Tuckaleechee Caverns. After that we went to get ice cream at Subway and went next door to get some chocolate from The Chocolate B’ar. Then went to the Swinging Bridge, then to the house. Lesa started supper, pizzas, and Ashley and myself went to get some milk. The kids watched Dragons: Race to the Edge and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Had the kids take showers and tried to calm them with games. Lesa and the boys played Sorry and Ashley and me played Yahtzee. Had trouble getting them to bed. Our last night here. Happy but sad. I get the feeling the kids are ready for home too.
