July 4th Tradition!

 Keeping up with our annual tradition, this year was our 5th year to participate in the Kids Parade. We weren't sure if the boys would be able to fit in their airplanes, due to their intense growth spurts, but they did! And were super excited they were able to ride in the parade in the most extragant floats ever!  We really enjoyed spending time with family and our friend from church also participated!









Free ice cream!

Free McDonalds apple pies, sausage biscuits, coffee, juice, apple slices and more!

A few of us gathered for a church photo!

Beau and his buddy, Drew.

 We took the planes off the floats, and went for a solo ride

Tennesee Aquarium!


Last month, we as a family, along with Paw Paw and Vick went to Chattanooga for an overnight excursion to the Tennesee Aquarium. Aunt Barbi and Dot Dot also rode up from Georgia and joined us for the day! The boys are really into animals, especially any kind of sea creatures, so we were all excited for their first visit to an aquarium. Here are just a few pics of the amazing creatures we saw.











Our favorite part of the day...petting the stingrays!!!
Pure excitement after touching a stingray!








Another attraction there, was the running water and fountains all around the aquarium. Of course, the boys had to jump right in, only after we saw the exhibits!
