Day trip!

A few weekends ago Aunt Bela and I talked about going on a journey with you girls and Lucas. We have had plenty of playdates, but never been on a trip together. Aunt Bela had a great idea....a day trip to Chattanooga and the Aquarium. We left Daddy at home working and Uncle Virgil kept Cameron. We woke up EARLY and met at Cracker Barrel for a delicious pancake breakfast. You have to sit for awhile on the frontporch in the rockers at Cracker Barrel!!

It is SUCH a treat to watch a movie in the car...ready for Nemo!!!

Chattanooga has such a cute downtown. The three of you enjoyed playing outside the aqaurium almost as much as being inside. Here you are jumping the fountains outside and playing on some of the walls and green space.




I had not been to the aquarium in over 12 years...they have added a lot in that time. You all were captivated by all of it! I was in awe again of the power and imagination of God as He has created such an ellaborate world under the waters of the world with such interesting colors and life.



We ate lunch under a bridge while listening to live music by a one man band. It was even cool on this August day!!! What a gorgeous summer we have had!!!

Trying to touch the stingrays...........

WE all LOVED watching the penguins....they are so funny!!!!!


One of the highlights was getting to play in the water outside of the aquarium at the end of the day...it was difficult to get you to leave....
Bribing with ice cream always seems to work, though!!!
