In a couple of hours we were all off to the state of Tennessee where the country music is sweet... as is the syrup at the abundant pancake houses throughout the land!
The most significant occurrence of this trip was the advancement Annabelle made in her amusement park riding. Folks, she actually rode a horse on the Merri-go-round this time rather than on the bench in Mimi's lap! The child is not a daredevil in the least, which I have found to be quite helpful in my parenting experience. She and Caleb are both overly cautious and that along with their advanced physical strengths and balance are of little worry for me most of the time in that sense. I rarely have to worry about either of them falling. Adam is another story though! Anyhow, she was so very proud of herself for riding a horse and the teacups. Amie and I had to ride those with them which was pretty uncomfortable for us. We both noticed that we are so much queasier these days after having our kiddos and spending so much of our time barfing from morning sickness. We just tried to focus on something not spinning and push through.
The River Battle still remains to be our favorite ride as a whole. We got Leslie on it and Amie, Dad and I SOAKED her and Chuck from the shore. It is so much fun to shoot those things.
Lanie is showing the girls one of the hundreds of caterpillars she found along the sidewalk that day.
Annabelle and Lucie in the kiddie rides. I think Annabelle rode the ducks 7 times.

Riding the tram back to the car.....tired, wet, dirty and hungry. but oh so happy!
How funny, Amie just called and asked if we wanted to go this Thursday.
I think we just might. (remember, we have season passes)
There is a new show that opened this past weekend that I cannot wait to see. Don't worry, I will write all about it for you in a week or two!
