Our Vacation and trip to Lake Cumberland

Our vacation had two parts. One was to Gatlinburg, which is by the Smoky Mountains. The other part was a trip to Lake Cumberland. We spent several days at each place and we had fun and enjoyable activities at each.My favorite activity at Gatlinburg was the world's largest mirror maze which was a lot of fun. In a mirror maze every wall looks identical, and theire are mirrors everywhere which are clean enough that you can not see them. We also did an activity called "The Vault", in which dozens of lasers stand between you and a button. Your goal is to get to the button as fast as possible and press it, deactivating a timer. How ever each laser you trip adds thirty seconds to the timer.

When we went to Lake Cumberland my favorite activity was actually going down to the lake, where we rented a ski-boat and we pulled a tube behind us. Josiah went on the tube first , and we slowly picked up speed. Occasionally we hit bumps caused by our own boat's wake or other boats. These would send Josiah into the air. At one point during a turn Josiah and the tube flipped over we stopped the boat and Josiah got back the tube. After a little while Josiah flew off the tube during a turn and we drove the boat over to him and picked him up. Then I got on the tube and during that time I got close to flipping over several times. However I stayed on but eventually my dad managed to throw me off by doing tight circles. Then my dad went on, and we was on for a much shorter time and did not get thrown off. We all took second turns but none of them were very eventful. Except my dad's second turn on the tube, when he flew off and we got a picture of it.
