We started the morning with a lovely breakfast at the campground cafe, Sweet Momma’s Cafe. It was beautiful sitting outside looking at the Smokey Mountains in the background.
Then it was back to the motorhome and some school work for Noah and Wes. It feels better now that we are getting through some of this work.
After a few hours, Pete decided to take the boys to the local town and get haircuts. They went off in an Uber while I worked on my website in silence…bliss.
The next thing, I get an email from Pete asking if I was at the motorhome. Noah was very upset, he did not like his haircut and they were returning home.
I felt his pain…
On their arrival back to camp you could see that Noah had been distressed.
Apparently, the Barber was 82, didn’t use scissors, just the razor and it looked a little bit like Jim Carrey’s hairdo in Dumb and Dumber (not that I told him this). He had controlled himself really well while in the shop but had let it all go once outside.
Needless to say, Pete decided not to get a haircut for himself.
Pete ordered them a meal and a soft drink from the campsite cafe and Noah thanked him for helping “cheer him up”, bless.
After lunch Pete took the boys back to TopJump, they had been begging him since they left yesterday and I got to spend more time on my website by myself.
The boys returned and it was time to walk to our evening entertainment, Dolly Parton’s Stampede Dinner Attraction.
On arrival and mandatory tourist photo, we were huddled into a room to listen to a country band for pre-show entertainment and then we went upstairs for the dinner and show.
Dinner consisted of a bowl of soup and muffin, a whole small roast chicken, slice of pork, corn on the cob, half a roasted potato and a fruit puff pastry thingy for dessert. No cutlery provided and plonked on your plate one piece at a time while watching the show. Not sure if you read it correctly but that was a whole chicken, no cutlery.
It was an experience, it was very ‘American’. I guess we are in America. The boys enjoyed it, Pete and I will take the no comment option. Let’s just say I may have lost a little respect for Dolly, she has certainly sold out but I guess everybody needs to make a buck or two.
Back in time to enjoy the cooler evening.
