McKay's 5th Grade Friend Trip-Day 2

These boys didn't sleep much on the trip (who can blame them, so fun to have their own room!). Dad told them to come and wake him up if they wanted to go swimming in the morning.  They were up and at em around 7:00 am.


Once the rest of us were able to get up and moving, we headed to the Raccoon Mountain Caverns.  We have been to Chattanooga quite a few times and never done this, so we were excited.  The boys played football while waiting for it to open.

Tiny salamanders that live in the caves.
Our guide was super funny and she had no idea who she was getting in these boys.  They had a ton of questions.  I love that these boys (and girls) love to learn.
The caves were so fascinating.  


After the caves we went to lunch on this riverboat.
Playing games while we wait for our food.




This boat came up right next to us.  A little freaky.
After lunch we went on a duck tour.  We have never done one of these before and it was really fun!

Waving to everyone they see.

The other side of the boat we ate lunch on.
I love all of the architecture and vegetation on the river in Chattanooga.
Each of the kids got to take a turn driving the boat.  The tour was so fun.  We've gone to Chattanooga so many times and I didn't know most of the things he taught us. 
We all got Moon Pies.  Our boys love these and I had no idea they were made in Chattanooga. 
After this we went home.  It was so sad to end the trip, we had a great time!  McKay slept all of the way home.
