The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ The Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~this meme was inspired in part by ~ In My Mailbox~ It's a chance to share News. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.
I can barely remember the week before this last one. I missed prepping my Sunday Post for last week because we were getting ready to go out of town. We left Saturday morning the 11th. We arrived in Gatlinburg, TN Saturday afternoon. We pretty much got settled into the room and grabbed some dinner. Sunday, we slept in a little. Then we went to lunch. We went by a lady that makes balloon animals that my parents have met on previous trips to Gatlinburg. My mom and I split off to go get groceries for the week. And Husband took the kids to the waterpark at the resort. Monday, we went horseback riding at Jayell Ranch. We had a good time, and we all got a laugh out of our various horse experiences. We also did the zip lines at Jayell Ranch. They are long enough and high enough to feel daring without being a high and long as some places like Ober. After that we grabbed lunch at JT Hannah. After an afternoon nap, we did Hillbilly Golf. Tuesday, we went to Lazer Port to do go carts, lazer tag, and glow in the dark mini golf. Then we went to Mama's Farmhouse Kitchen. We went back to Hillbilly Golf after dinner in the room because they have a half price deal if you return within three days. Wednesday, we spent the main part of the day at the waterpark at the resort. That night we went to the Hatfield and McCoy's Dinner Fued show. Thursday, we went to Ober and did the bobsled (what we used to call the alpine slide), mountain coaster, ice skating, and various activities there. We were pretty exhausted by the time we got home that night. Friday was our last full day in TN so we drove through Cade's Cove. We saw several turkeys and deer, and we saw one bear in the distance. The bear activity seemed to be quite frequent as there were signs everywhere about various trails closed due to bear activity. We had lunch at Mel's Diner. And then we took the kids to play in the creek. After that it was mostly packing to head home. We got up early for a Saturday and hit Sawyer's for breakfast on the way home. We got home around 3:30 in the afternoon. It was passed time to be able to pick Scout up from boarding so we'll get him today. We all miss him like crazy. But it was nice to get the house back in order and unpack. This coming week will be busy with ball games. The kids mananged to all three have games on Monday and Thursday. The boys are participating in a midseason tournament which means if either of them win one or both games this week they will likely play Friday and/or Saturday as well. So we jump right back into things. But we only have about 4 weeks of school left until summer break which is kind of crazy to think about.

Goodreads description--When you've been set up to lose everything you love, what is there left to fight for?As the day dawns on the fiftieth annual Hunger Games, fear grips the districts of Panem. This year, in honor of the Quarter Quell, twice as many tributes will be taken from their homes.
Back in District 12, Haymitch Abernathy is trying not to think too hard about his chances. All he cares about is making it through the day and being with the girl he loves.
When Haymitch's name is called, he can feel all his dreams break. He's torn from his family and his love, shuttled to the Capitol with the three other District 12 tributes: a young friend who's nearly a sister to him, a compulsive oddsmaker, and the most stuck-up girl in town.
As the Games begin, Haymitch understands he's been set up to fail. But there's something in him that wants to fight . . . and have that fight reverberate far beyond the deadly arena.
That's it for my shelves and recaps of my past and upcoming week. What did you add to your shelves this week? Any bookish news you want to talk about? Let me know!
