Ripley's Aquarium

During our visit to see YiaYia and Fonder this January we took a day-trip to Gatlinburg to visit the aquarium. The boys loved seeing all of the weird fish! Alex was even able to touch the stingrays!
What a fun day!!!

Summertime in Tennessee

At the top of Round Knob Mountain. Such beautiful views! The drive to the top was scary...very narrow roads that seemed to go on forever. And look, Fonder! There's that elusive frog!! Just a side note, be sure never to trip around me...I'll probably push you down farther!

Smoky Mountains

The views were really breathtaking!!!

We had such a nice visit with YiaYia and Fonder this summer!! The mountains, the movies, good times with family.

TN - Here we come!!

At the end of summer vacation, the boys and I hit the road to YiaYia and Fonder's new house in TN. We had a fantastic visit! Fonder taught Alex to play chess and dominos, we went to the birthplace of Davy Crockett, we visited a llama farm, celebrated Fonder's birthday, and made s'mores. Such a fun visit and a great way to end a great summer!

On our way home we stopped at a scenic view rest area and had a look at the beautiful mountain view!

Monster Quilt

YiaYia and Fonder were in Virginia on Monday visiting some friends and they stopped by to see us for a few hours. YiaYia brought a really cool quilt that she had made for the boys. We love it!!! All of the monsters have names. It is so cool!

Niagara Falls

It was a beautiful day to go see the falls. Hunter was sleeping so he missed out this time. We went right up as close as we could to the falls, and it was so misty there is was like a downpour. We were soaked! The view was great though!
