fun!!! i haven't been to dollywood since i was like 9 years old. i bet it's a lot different now!
a *little* crazy is okay, right?
you should've heard luke telling me about them the other night. he had me in his bedroom floor with this card thing that had a magnet in it and he was showing me what each one of them did. it was so cute! nope, no birds. i think it was too cold for the birds!
ray's sister is a big bird watcher and she even had her binoculars out, but we never saw any to speak of. i made the taco soup just for the heck of it. it's very yummy! here's the recipe in case you want it:
1 pound ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
3 15-oz. cans mexican (ranch style) beans - do not drain (i leave these out because i hate beans!)
1 15-oz. can corn - do not drain
1 14-oz. can chopped tomatoes - do not drain
1 14-oz. can tomato sauce
1 1/2 cups water
1 4.5-oz. can chopped chiles
1 pack (2.5 oz.) taco seasoning
1 1-oz. pack of ranch (hidden valley) salad dressing mix
brown ground beef and onion, then drain. add all other ingredients together and bring to a boil. add beef and onions and simmer for 30 minutes.
