World's Fair Park Fountains

We had so much fun at the World's Fair Park Fountains the other day! I had never taken the kids there before and it was quite the adventure once we got over there with a friend of mine and her son. We started out in the fountains and the kids loved them. They were high pressure fountains and even Ashley and I ran through them. Across the street is a nice park for the kids to take a break from the water at and it was nice to watch them play for a bit before we ran back over to crash the water again. I loved seeing the HUGE smiles on their faces while they played in all that water! So. Much. Fun!

4th Of July 2011

We spent the fourth at Mom's this year since Doug had to work. Mom had a barbeque and it was nice for the kids to get to play with Emma, Chloe and Lydia. Mom grilled hamburgers and hotdogs and they were delicious! The kids played lots of games and swam in the pool. It was a relaxing and enjoyable day. We ended the evening with chasing lightening bugs and watching fireworks on the tv. I hope next year to have Doug celebrating with us and that we can head over to Knoxville to enjoy some fireworks in person! The kids were happy either way and fell into their beds by the end of the night.

Tuckaleechee Caverns

We spent Saturday exploring Tuckaleechee Caverns . I had never visited before even with growing up with it basically right in my backyard. It was really cool to see - especially after taking the kids to Ruby Falls last month. It was similar and very different. Tuckaleechee Caverns are natural caverns estimated to be between 20 and 30 million years old and are rich in history. It was definitely a fun way to spend our day and interesting to see.
