Home Again, Home Again

On the way home from Chattanooga, we stopped to eat at Loretta Lynn's restaurant. The food wasn't great and it was a little creepy eating in a room surrounded by life size statues of her.

Look Mommy We're Ner-Nays

That would be mermaids in Kate language. Messy hair and no bows but cute nonetheless.

Chattanooga Day 2-Rock City

Heather and all her chickens.

A beautiful boy in front of beautiful scenery.

I can only imagine how much harder it will be to get a picture of all of us when the baby comes.





While my mom and I were talking we lost sight of Ella for just one second. I was afraid my little daredevil had gone flying down the side of the mountain. But this is where we found her.

Kate wasn't in the happiest of moods so we thought maybe some princess gear would cheer her up. It didn't work as well as we hoped.

Chattanooga Day 2

Playing in the fountain at Coolidge Park.

Couldn't resist this plumber booty shot.

The girls discovered that filling up their mouths with water and spitting it on our feet was cool.

Ella used floaties for the first time and LOVED it. Kate wasn't as brave and wouldn't put them on.

The princess crashed hard.

Chattanooga Day 1

We were supposed to go to Orange Beach for vacation but with the oil we canceled that and headed for Chattanooga. The whole crew. Every. Single. One. Of. Us. We had a great time-Chattanooga is a neat city. On the way there we were stuck in traffic from Bonnaroo. It took 3 1/2 hours to go 45 miles. Needless to say we were all ready to get out the car. So Jack, Heather, Stan, and G went to play Putt-Putt and me, Stephen, Mimi, and the girls headed off to explore Chattanooga. We walked over the pedestrian bridge to North Shore and had some ice cream. Much to the girls' dismay we walked back over the bridge. I think it was a million miles long. Or at least it seemed it did when trying to carry a 30 pound two year old-or two. We met the rest of the crew for dinner then headed back to the hotel and crashed.

Fun on the carousel horse at the ice cream shop.
