Did anyone notice that this post disappeared? Jon "accidentally" deleted it trying to get rid of a picture of himself. Pretty funny... Anyway, I want this in my "blurb" book when I do it, so here it is again. I promise I am not crazy.
My parents took us all to Chattonooga the first weekend in August. We went to the Creative Discovery Museum, Aquarium, rode on the Duck ride, and of course ate lots of wonderful food! We all had a blast (even though my poor mother had shingles and was not feeling so hot) and definitely want to go back again. It is the greatest city for kids--there is so much for them to do and we stayed right downtown and walked everywhere we went. Lilly has not stopped talking about Chattonooga since we got back. I would highly recommend it to anyone. We also got to see Casey and Henley while we were there. They went on the Duck tour and ate lunch with us. I hadn't seen little Henley since she was four months old--she is precious and had changed so much since I had seen her. Lilly was silly over her--hugging on her the entire time.

Posing with a penguin--they were so friendly and adorable! My camera didn't get very good pictures through the glass.

Saying cheese!

Thanks so much, mom and dad, for a wonderful trip! We all appreciate it so much and had such a great time.

We love you!
