Chattanooga part 4
Despite the rain, after the aquarium we headed to Collidge Park to ride on the carousel. Â It was the most beautiful and whimsical carousel that I have ever seen. Â It took Teddy a few times around to like it, but by the end he was as happy as Penny on the carousel.
Outside the carousel in the park was a beautiful fountain. Â As soon as Penny saw it, she wanted to run around it. Â Since it was already raining, what’s a little more water.
July 4th part 2
After spending the day at the museum, we headed for an early dinner at a local brewpub. Â Then we all went to watch a minor league game, the Chattanooga Lookouts (LA Dodgers). Â It ended early due to the rain, but we all head a great time!!!
Dinnertime fun with Grandpa

OF course, wearing our July 4th hats!

Oh no!!!!!
Though we had to leave the game due to the rain, we were able to see the beautiful fireworks from our room (and from the pool)
Rainy day fun
This morning we awoke to the sound of rain, music to our ears. Â Penny, Teddy and Steve were excited to get out and run around in the rain which they did in their pajamas. Â Then Penny used Teddy’s birthday gift for the first time, spin art, big hit all around!! This afternoon Grandma and Grandpa took Penny to the movies to see Despicable Me 2. Â Rainy days are fun!!
Babyland General Hospital
Today we went to the birthplace of the Cabbage Patch Kid.  The have built a hospital that you can visit.  Penny and Teddy were in heaven, I on the other hand felt a little like I was in a freaky dream.  The staff was dressed as nurses and doctors, babies were being born every hour, there was a nursery, and there were cabbage patch kids everywhere.  Thousands of them, it was crazy!!!!
Teddy found the life size cabbage patch lady a little odd-
Penny and a nurse holding a premie doll-
This beauty was walking around all day shaking hands-
Penny found a doll wearing the exact dress she was wearing. Â She only cost $300, we told Penny she was not up for adoption
Teddy loved taking care of the babies
It’s time for a birth-
A healthy girl, she went to the nursery to get cleaned up-
Time for the baby to meet potential adoptive parents-
Cool artwork-
And who was the lucky baby that Penny adopted? Â I am pleased to announce that Florence Jaidyn born on July 2 has joined the Margheim family. Â They asked Penny if she wanted to change the baby’s name, but she was happy with it!
Summer Days
The kids are having a fun time in the summer sun. Â After a yummy breakfast, we took the kids to a nearby park with a fantastic playground. Â Penny quickly made friends while Teddy explored and hit the slides. Â Later in the day, after getting a new helmet and a quick lunch trip, Penny hit the road in her new scooter Lisa gave her for her birthday. Â We also played with water balloons out in the front yard in the late afternoon. Â SUMMER FUN!
