Mini vacation

We finished up our time at MTI and have had a mini vacation on our way out to North Carolina.

Here's an extra big "cheese" for giving her chocolate milk! She did great in the car again!
We spent last night and tonight in Nashville. This morning we made a trip to the zoo!

We got to eat dinner at an Aquarium restaurant.

And then we took a little stroll through the Opryland Hotel.

It was exhausting!

We finished up the day with some "swimming" (it's a very loose term for Addie, she much prefers just to dip her feet).

Tomorrow we head to North Carolina to see Grandma and Grandad!

Sharing a room...

The joys of sharing a room with Addie. I am laying in bed right now listening to her "go to sleep" in her tent. One minute I hear "Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound..." followed by "I'm a chatterbox, I'm a chatterbox." She has no idea how true it is.

The rest of the story...

Our last day in Iowa was a fun one with Grandma and Grandpa! We went to the Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium and ha d a great time.

Addie and the giant catfish!

Elias liked it a little more :)

2 words - easy baby. He fell asleep like this wherever we went!

Mom's turn, then Elias' turn!

One last outing with Papa.

So as we were getting ready to leave on Friday morning, Addie told Jenna "I want to stay here!" and then she told me goodbye! We sure did have a fun time in Iowa. Love you Grandma and Papa and Uncle Ben and Aunt Jenna and Elias and Baby Zach!

A real cowgirl...

Thanks for the outfit Grandma Denny, Grandma Van Dine and Lydia!

Fun in Chicago
