Team Building in Gatlinburg

Somebody (who shall remain nameless) had the bright idea for the Imaging Managers to take a trip together... we finally made all of the arrangements and took the trip this past weekend. I'm proud to say that we had a great time!! We all made it back in one piece, and we didn't forget anyone! Enjoy the pictures of our trip below...

This was just one of the stops we made on the way... (there were two more before this.) Now tell me, if you saw this gang coming, wouldn't you get out of the way???

This is Dyra being hit up for money by one of the locals... what you can't appreciate from the picture, is hearing Dyra tell the man he only has two dollars...and then hearing Tim yell out the window..."Aww, come on, you got more money than that!!"

Here we are traveling down the road...there was some obsession about our car vs. their car. They said we kept laughing!!

This is Dyra stylin' in the grocery...

"...There are things we need, and things we don't! People, please!"

Yes, all nine of us went to the grocery once we arrived...

...who knew such bonding could occur at the checkout?? "You can take off the glasses now, Dyra."

Here is our cabin, and Dyra's "BMW"

This is Dyra and Tim horsing around, literally...

This is most of us at dinner on Thursday night.

This is the rest of us at dinner on Thursday... let me just say that if you haven't shared a meal with the I-Team, you've missed out!! The Peddler didn't know what hit 'em!

Now, after we got home Thursday night, we retired to the Home Theater Room... we watched Jeff Dunham videos and drank Mudslides. Thanks SUE!!

Friday morning began bright and early...well, not for me... Marilyn, Karen and Michele were nice enough to fix everyone breakfast.

Here are the guys... they're waiting on breakfast. (Don't worry, we got them back...)

I'm not quite sure what's happening here... and, to be honest, I don't think I want to know!

This was one of the views from our cabin...

And another one...

We're having a great time... seriously!!

This was right after they told me Joint Commission had arrived at Skyline, and here we all sit in Gatlinburg. I think I needed more than chocolate milk at that point!!

DeLisa got her beauty sleep....she's gearing up for a big day of shopping!

This video games were a great time filler... however, I will say it wasn't fun to wake up to their noise!

Karen and Dyra are ready to go... this is a pretty impressive display of spare time! Who are we waiting on anyway??

We're ready to go shopping... this picture is with me...
This picture is without me...

Apparently Robbin and I are trying to convince Dyra that he needs to purchase these items...wouldn't he look cute with the Pooh bear?

"Hey...the duck food out here is free. It's $1.00 inside..."

We actually got the boys in the Kitchen Kupboard store.

After shopping, we had some free time before the Dixie Stampede... Karen decided to nap sitting up so she wouldn't mess up her hair.

Michele took advantage of the downtime by catching up on those 80's video games.

And Marilyn...well, I'm not sure what she's doing here... but she looks good, doesn't she?

Sue spent her downtime taking pictures.... I think this was the best view from our cabin.

This is Dyra and Tim with a "Southern Belle"...the guys can tell you that you can't get close with all those hoops!

We're an intrusive bunch! It was a good thing that the folks at the Dixie Stampede were so nice!

See, they were nice... Dyra had to have his own picture...with the banjo, no less!

Trust me... you don't even want to know...

This is one of the few pictures that turned out from the Dixie Stampede. (We weren't supposed to take pictures... something about scaring the horses, or something.)

So, we took video instead!!

This was the ending number a Dixie Stampede!!

See, I told you we got the boys back. We stood around and watched while they did all the breakfast dishes.

While these pictures don't even get close to telling "the whole story", all in all, it was a trip to remember! We're all back, and we all still like one another, too.
