Tennessee Aquarium!

This is the train that she would ride at the Chattanooga Choo Choo. It was very disappointing. I remember it being such a great place when I was young, but now it is old, stinky, and empty. We were the only people there.

Clara's favorite part of the aquarium was getting to pet all of the different animals. She didn't really like walking through the big fish tank, it scared her. But she petted a frog, a sting ray, a shark, a fish, and a opossum!

This is my favorite picture from the whole trip!

She loved these "little guys"

We spent a lot of time in the Children's museum. It was a lot like the McWane Center, but better. Planting veggies in the garden was one of her favorite things there.

digging for dinosaur bones was her other favorite part of the Children's Museum.

She LOVES dinosaurs!

We stayed at a really nice hotel, courtesy of Priceline, and Clara LOVED having her own bed! We got a room with two doubles in it. She would snuggle up and watch cartoons! I can;t tell you how many times a day she would ask if it was time to go back to the hotel!

We took a family trip to Chattanooga to the Tennessee Aquarium last weekend. Clara had a blast! Robby and I have decided that we really need to take more family trips!

More Jakob time :)

Jakob did some tricks with magnets for Clara and she thought it was AWESOME!

Zoo with Jakob

Clara loves to spend time with her cousin, Jakob. She absolutely adores him. We went to the zoo the other day and they had a lot of fun. It was especially fun for them to get to feed the birds. As always, the birds loved Jakob and flocked to him, but Clara was a little afraid. Finally, she saw a little green bird standing off to the side and she went over to it and started to feed it. She really had a lot of fun feeding this bird. It was funny to me because all of the other birds were beautiful and had many colors and feathers on them, but Clara chose the only bird with no colors and it had no feathers on its head!

Father's Day!

We had a great Father's day, Clara wanted to make daddy a sign for his big day, so we had a lot of fun with some paint! We also did a project with Daddy at Home Depot on Saturday. She loved that and it was completely free, HD does these kids projects on the first Saturday of every month and it is really fun. Happy Fathers Day to all the great Dad's I know!
