So it's been a busy and daddy-less two weeks. Therefore we had a family fun weekend planned! Friday night started out at the pool...crazy kids swimming in super cold water!
Saturday morning was spent looking at some houses. Found one we offered on...third time's a charm, right!?! After dragging the kids through the houses, we hit the road. This is what happens when you let a certain little girl play with your phone:
On our way to our destination, we drove Chickamauga battlefields. It is still a little too much history to keep the kids attention, but we did stop to check out a few statues and cannons.
Our first stop, the IMAX; where we saw To the Arctic. Everyone enjoyed the Polar Bear cubs! Plus who can resist the awesome glasses. ;o)
The Penguins were a big hit with Little Pumpkin. Good to know there is still one penguin taller than my baby! When did she grow up?!?
Watch out for the Giant Japanese Spider Crab! A favorite...although I think it had more to do with the crawling under the exhibit to get to the view point.
Another big hit was the butterfly garden. Even if we didn't have any land on us. They were beautiful and had some really neat cocoons. Never paid attention to how unique each cocoon could be.
Here they were waiting somewhat impatiently for the stingrays to come by so they could touch them. Little Lion was trying hard to "catch" the guitar fish...the lady said it felt like sandpaper.
So excited that the Tennessee Aquarium is so close and so much fun! We look forward to many more visits. Come see us and we'll take you! ;o)
(No, I'm not above bribery at times.)
