Shanty hallow lake

We decided on a little hike to Shanty Hallow this weekend. The boys walked all 2 miles without too much of a problem. We had a lovely picnic lunch. We got a little lost and gathered a couple of unwanted hitchhikers (ticks), but also got to pee in the woods! 

Last day in Memphis

Before heading home, we hit the Train and Trolley museum and Gibson donuts! 

It was great fun, but we are glad to be back home. Now to enjoy our summer and await Aurora! 

Sleepy time afternoon

Daddy days are definitely jammed packed. We outgrew naps a while ago now, but every now and then....

A little snooze sneaks in. 

Zoo! Day 3

I would like to say that I am tired! We spent the whole day at the Memphis zoo.  Lots of fun, and mom wore out before the boys did. 

We thought Eli would like this picture. As we came back into town. Looks like there's a baseball game... Bet dad sneaks off for some alone time. 

Vacations are fun, but I think we will all be ready to see Bowling Green tomorrow. 

Memphis day 2

Our second day in Memphis has been full, we aren't quite done yet, but are stopping for a little down time (mostly for mommy and Aurora). First for today, the Fire Museum. Most memorable was the room where you could play in simulated fire trucks.Next, the famous Peabody ducks. 

And lunch at the Arcade. 

A ride on the trolley...

We also have gone to the Pink Palace (probably wouldn't recommend this for kiddos, "museum-y)."

I think favorites up to this point, would definitely be the Fire Museum. They did like the Peabody Ducks, but there were so many  people! 

And by the way, if you ever see a 3 year old wave at you from a trolley, train, whatever, wave back. It will make their day. 

Memphis day 1

Aurora had a great check up! 35 weeks, feeling quite well. Then off to Memphis!

Well, it took a little longer to get here than planned. 3 bathroom breaks and an interstate slow down- we are finally on vacation! Both boys took a brief nap in the van (amazing), we out to dinner, and then a stroll down the trolley line. 

Looking to more fun tomorrow! 

A little harmony

We are getting lots of use of our playground already!
