Spring Break-In Chattanooga

 Grandma Ann came to visit us during spring break this year and we were so excited!  We decided to show her around Georgia and of course our favorite, Tennessee.  We took her to the Aquarium (yay for the season pass) and to some of our favorite restaurants. 

 McKay is always too scared to actually touch the animals in the shallow pool, but this time he did it with dad's help.  We were proud of him.
The butterfly garden was awesome this time.  Usually the butterflys are a little standoffish, but this time they were so friendly!


 Lincoln even had a butterfly land on his head!











McKay wanted Josh to wear his CTR necklace he got from church and Josh wore it to lunch.  He's such a good daddy.






 The pool is always a favorite.  Josh brought cards to play this time before they swam.


 The next day we went to Rock City.  The first time we came to Chattanooga we had a waiter that talked us out of going to Rock City.  When we got home we heard it is really fun, so we determined to go there the next time we went the Chattanooga.  We really loved it!
 There were lots of gorgeous walking paths.
 The boys loved these extremely narrow places.




 Lover's Leap
 From this look out supposidly you can see 4 states.




 This waterfall was so gorgeous!


 On our way out we were pleasantly surprised to see a whole bunch of these little fairy tale glowy scenes.  It was really neat.



We headed to Clumpies for ice cream and I am so glad we did.  It was delicious!
And I have to admit I was a sucker for how cute the inside was.
 I got orange and rose ice cream.  As weird as rose sounds, it was so good.

 We love this park that's by our favorite bridge.  We need to go in the summer to actually get to play in the water here.  We've always been when it was cold and turned off.  
Water sprays from all of the animal's mouths.
 Eating ice cream while sitting on a horses head.  Now that is kid heaven right there.


Heading home (thanks for the picture Grandma!).  We had so much fun!

Spring Breatk with Grandma Ann

 For spring break this year we were lucky enough to get a visit from Grandma Ann.  The boys were so excied to have her here!  We took her to some of our favorite places around Georgia including Brusters for ice cream.

 Laser tag was a big hit and the boys were so impressed Grandma played with them.
Josh and I stopped by the photobooth.  How have we never done this before?
 I took Grandma to The Atlanta History Center, the Swan House and to lunch at the Swan Carriage house.
 The dessert swan is my very favorite things about this place.

The Swan House is where they filmed President Snow's house in Catching Fire.  We loved having Grandma with us!
