Graeber Family trip to Nashville

This year, the Graeber clan decided to take a trip to Nashville and stay at the Opryland Hotel for a few days together.  Everyone, Aunts and Uncles, brothers and sisters, cousins and kids, all came to Nashville the day after Christmas.  It was so much fun getting all the children together and there were a lot of activities for us to do while we were there.  We had a character breakfast with Shrek, took a boat ride through the hotel, and went to the ICE exhibit which has a huge ice slide to go down at the end!  We all had a fun time seeing each other and being our normal crazy selves! Looking forward to doing this each year!

On our way to Nashville, we stopped at the Casey Jones Train Museum in Jackson for a break. The kids had a blast playing with all the Thomas the train toys, and Grafton was so excited to see a real train engine and ring its bell.  She was in heaven!

James did NOT like the characters!

 Grafton loved wearing her shrek ears!

At the ICE exhibit....they gave us these warm parkas to wear because the whole exhibit is 9 degrees!
