Riding the Tram to Ober Batlinburg

One day while Grandma and Grandpa were visiting we decided to take a tram up the side of a huge mountain to an amusement park at the top called Ober Gatlinburg. The tram ride was awesome, the kids loved being so high in the air, "way above all the trees and people" as Brielle would say. Thanks grandma and grandpa for taking us! When we got to the top we realized that the park wasn't all that it was cracked up to be. Most of the rides were closed because it had been raining. So we went to the little playground, and the kids rode down the WET slides and played on the toys for a little bit. It was kind of lame. But then we got to ride the tram back down the mountain, and that made it worth it! After, that we went out to lunch at a place called the Apple Barn. It is on an Apple orchard and everything has some sort of Apple dish. It was really yummy! Here are pictures from the tram and the playground.







these were some black bears that you could see from the tram!

We never went on the tram because we heard it was lame up there, but I think we will have to go and see for ourselves sometime.

We love the Apple Barn! Their bakery can really get my waistline in trouble!
