Quick Little Update

It has come to my attention that if we don't put something new on here on a regular basis people start worrying about us, thinking something has happened to us. And Daneen starts to get ansy as well.... So without further ado, here is a quick little blog about what we have been up to in the last few weeks.

Carson started school on a Friday, like I had said in a previous post. The day before school started we decided to take him to the Creative Discovery Museum in Chattanooga, TN. Let me just say, that place is a kids dream come true. I don't really know how to describe it so just click on the link to their website to get a good idea of what goes on there. Carson had a blast! Of course, the battery in our camera died about 15 minutes into our little adventure in the "museum". So here are some pics of just a couple things Carson got to do.


Giant Jungle Jim


Looking at Bug Skeletons


Digging for bones

Pretty much everything in this place was hands on. What kid wouldn't enjoy that? They had music exhibits, art exhibits, electronic exhibits, inventions exhibits, etc.... They even have a tower at the top of the building you can climb up to and get an awesome view of the city. Carson really enjoyed everything but I think his favorite part was digging for dinosaur bones. He liked it so much he tried sneaking out about a pound of sand in each of his shoes! hehe

This past weekend we spent Saturday afternoon at Vogel State Park. They have a pretty good sized lake you can fish in and swim in. It has been so hot here so Daneen was up for going just so she could swim! I, on the other hand, was itching to go fishing. So everyone got what they wanted. It is a really nice park. I caught a few fish and Daneen and Carson had fun playing in the water. Around 8:00pm they had a live band playing on one of their pavilions. Carson really liked hearing them play and was dancing up a storm on the lake shore! That kid really enjoys music. Anyway, here is a pic from that fun afternoon. Enjoy.

Have you secretly taken a second job with the tourism dept of Chattanooga? Because you are selling that city very well. I'd never had any desire to go there, but now... an awesome aquarium AND a huge children's museum? We're sold.
