Vacation at Pa and Gram's

Aunt Josie did send the photos of the kiddos' week at Pa and Gram's house.  I'm pretty positive that everyone had a grand time.  Especially, since Reba AND Dallas took naps for two days after coming home!

The kiddos went home with Pa and Gram after we finished at the Rush County Fair.  It didn't take them long to get out the lawn tractors...

Sugar enjoyed splashing in the pool

Looks like they made a few different trips to some parks

A trip to Chuck E Cheese

LOVE Julianne's face!  She isn't afraid to let you know when she is unhappy with a situation

They even had a bonfire one night and a picnic in the yard

Eating at Aunt Josie's work

Swimming at Aunt Josie's apartment complex, but Julianne wouldn't get in

Until next time...

Welcome Home!

After church, Doug and I headed to Corydon to get our kiddos back from Pa and Gram.  We decided to meet at Frisch's Big Boy.  Each time we eat there, the kiddos always want their picture taken with the Big Boy!

I'm hoping Gram or Aunt Josie will be sending pictures of their adventures, that I will be sure to share at some point!

Until next time...

Nashville: Seeing the Sights

Sunday morning, we got up and met Josie and Emily for breakfast at Shoney's and then said our good-byes to them.  

We then mapped out our plans for the day.  Doug wanted to visit Cooter's Place, the Dukes of Hazzard Museum.

It was amazing how much memorabilia there was!

I wanted to see the inside of the Opryland Hotel.  We had drove around some of the outside after the concert Saturday night, but I had heard the inside was gorgeous.  Doug and I didn't really know "what we were doing" so we found a parking lot that was free for 15 minutes.  We made a bee-line into the lobby and found this...the Cascades Atrium.

It was absolutely gorgeous!  I just wish we could have stayed a little longer and explored the other lobbies...

We then made our way back downtown to tour the Country Music Hall of Fame. 

There was a wonderful exhibit honoring Alan Jackson's 25 years in the country music business

(One of?) Elvis' Limos

Just a few of the records on the walls

Merle Haggard's boots

One of Reba McEntire's dresses and George Strait's outfits on display

Had to take a picture of the Bandit's car (for Dallas)

The tour ended in the Hall of Fame Rotunda

Our last stop was the Ryman Auditorium.

We were running short on time, so we just walked around the outside.  Maybe we'll go back soon and get to see the inside!

Until next time...
