Chattanooga Day 2

Can you guess what we did today???

The famous part of Rock City where you can see 7 states. He said that he was trying to find his Nanny's house in Georgia.

Tweet! Tweet! Look at the little birds!

McKinley going through Fat Man Squeeze.

After Rock City, we headed to Coolidge Park. I have been wanting to visit this park since I saw an article about it in Southern Living years ago. It has an old restored carousel and an a cool water park for the kids. We did not have McKinley's swim trunks with us today, but promised to bring them next time.

We ran him around the park until he was really tired and then all went back to the room for a nice long nap!!!

Chattanooga Day 1

Here are some pictures from our first day at Chattanooga.....and boy are we tired!!!!! Vacation with 2 kids is exhausting....or should I say vacation with McKinley is exhausting....Marley Ann is the easy one!!! We started the day with a trip to the aquarium.

This is pretty much what Marley Ann did all day.........
We are so excited that Uncle Brian was able to come with us, it is especially nice to have the extra set of hands. McKinley was so excited that he could touch the fish!!

McKinley got to pet a stingray too, which he loved.....he loved it so much he had to have a stuffed stingray from the gift shop.

No trip to Chattanooga would be complete without a trip to the Chattanooga Choo Choo!

McKinley is obsessed with the Inclined Railroad, and that is ALL that he talked about ALL day was seeing and riding the Inclined Railroad.....until we finally took him to see it.........I think this is the only "train" that he does not like!

Swimming into Summer!

Sunday was the first "official" swim in the pool. Marley Ann was all ready in her new bikini.

We didn't want the bugs to eat her up because she is so sweet, so she hung out in her tent.

McKinley is helping his daddy clean the pool.

First dive of the summer.

Something to talk about

I heard Andy and Marley Ann talking the other night and grabbed my camera real quick to capture the moment.....she had lots to tell her daddy!!

End of the Year Program

Last week was McKinley's end of the year program at school. It was amazing for us to see all the neat things that he learned at school this year....he even surprised us by singing the months of the year in Spanish and we were very impressed that he could sign the alphabet. We had a great year with Miss. Tracy and Miss. Misty, and we do not know what we will do without them next year! We were so blessed and fortunate to be able to participate in the schools systems 3 year old blended class (one perk of being a county employee) and we hope that Cousin Kate has just as much fun next year in Miss. Tracy's class!

Pre-K here comes McKinley!!!!!!!!!!!!!
