Remember our garden from late spring? Here it is now...producing tomatoes, squash, cantaloupe and green peppers. WE have been eating good!!!
Here is your sunflower, Caitlyn. It was just two small seeds, and now look at it!!! All it takes is a little water and sunshine....and water is one thing we have had plenty of this summer. Water through lots of rain, but also water fun in the form of pools, sprinklers, water gun wars, and a new experience for us... a water park.We had heard of this new water park in Sevierville, TN (near Gatlinburg) and had been very intrigued. Our friends, the Dyes, had been earlier in the summer and just raved about it. So, one weekend when Daddy was out of town on a mens golf trip, the three of us, "Miss" Shelly, Coal and Claire headed down for our own adventure.
The water slides are very different than what I remembered as a child. On most all of them, you ride on a tube and glide on the water at the end. I remember being thrust under the water at the bottom of many slides as a young girl...so needless, to say, I was somewhat nervous. This picture was taken in the indoor section of the water park after you and Coal went down together, Caitlyn. Once we got our jitters out on the first slide, you went time and time again. You and Caroline were so brave!!
Jumping the waves at the outdoor wave pool........
Caroline, they had several smaller slides for your age and size. You weren't able to ride all of the slides there, but you wore out the ones you could.
Hanging out with momma, watching sister go down the bigger slides.
