more Tennessee...

We had a wonderful time in Tennessee. Ben and Janet's house is beautiful...and fun. The girls wanted to stay longer and keep asking when we are going back. Ruby Falls was fun, the girls loved swimming, the playground was great - overall a GREAT VACATION! The kids played in a little river thing by the aquarium while James and Janet got the tickets. I thought it was cool.

The girls always love a good aquarium - I think they like the gift shop the best. We talked them out of buying yet another pink stuffed dolphin to add to the collection.

Janet bought cupcakes and we celebrated an early birthday for Raleigh (she LOVES the panda)

Oh, and a flat tire on the way back home. James helped the girls fix the tire while I fed Greyson. They thought it was cool. Even cooler was the 4 foot long swardfish we saw in a car on the way home laying on a pillow...we also saw 2 blown up aliens "driving" a car that was being towed...and we drove right by the end of a rainbow. Other than the 2 times Sydney threw up from motion sickness (not even in the mountains - right at the beginning of the trip) we could not have asked for better travelers. The kids did great in the car. Greyson's ears were bugging him (I think) going up and down the mountain but he never fussed long. I got home and brought in a bag of stuff I brought for the drive for the girls that I never needed to give them.

Thanks for a great vacation Ben and Janet!! We are coming back!
