We started off the day with another thrilling trip to Silver Dollar City. We began with all of the kiddie rides and attractions that we missed the first day, like this treetop maze (yes, that's me crawling through that hole). Then we did the carousel and a funhouse called Grandfather's Mansion which really messed with my equilibrium.
Jake made his best impression of a baldknobber. He crosses his eyes a lot, which always makes me shudder.
Then I crammed into the back seat of the Hoppy Frogs (one good side to being short) to snap this picture. The boys were squealing with delight when the frogs started hopping. Really cute ride.
Like the Hoppy Frogs, we did most of the same rides as the previous day, looked around a bit, and headed back to the hotel for a quick nap.
Then we went to the most expensive dinner show I've experienced - Dixie Stampede. The brochure makes it sound like drinks and popcorn at the pre-show are included with your ticket - not the case. The pre-show was a juggling act that was incredible. This guy was juggling ping pong sized balls with his mouth! How do you even train for that??? Once we got shuffled into our seats, the real show began. The horses were so beautiful, and the riding was great too! The show storyline was a bit silly, and some of the outfits were outrageous (they actually were wearing jackets that lit up in patriotic colors as Dolly Parton sang on a big screen some Color Me America song). But when the lumberjack competition began - watch out. It was absolutely enthralling. I cannot believe how quickly those guys could climb a pole and chop through a huge log of wood while standing on it. The food was VERY good, and boy oh boy was there a lot! The boys were entertained throughout the whole show too - a double plus. All in all, I also recommend Dixie Stampede as a one time, must see experience.
That wraps up day 2, folks.
