Champ celebrated his 7th birthday while we were in Tennessee.
Per our tradition, we woke the birthday child with a serenade.

They were trying to hit the drop lights hanging in front of the mirror and vase.I am not making that up.
We spent a few hours at Dollywood, then back to the house for cake and ice cream.
Before we’d left home, we’d talked about the limits I would have in creating a cake. He asked if he could pick a shape. I said, “Sure.” He requested a cross cake; we own that pan, he knew. I explained it would be meagerly decorated. He was fine with that. I think it came out decent.
It was delicious!
We went back to Dollywood for a few hours before closing. We found you can get right onto rides easily at that time of day.
