Chattanooga part 3

 

On Friday, after an amazing breakfast at the Blue Plate, we headed to the Tennessee Aquarium which consisted of 2 buildings, the River Walk and the Ocean building.  The River walk was by far the best fresh water aquarium I have ever been to.  IMG_3382 IMG_3374 IMG_3354 IMG_3345 IMG_3344 IMG_3325 IMG_3301 IMG_3299 IMG_3298 IMG_3297 IMG_3292 IMG_3289 IMG_3288 IMG_3286 IMG_3282 IMG_3280 IMG_3278 IMG_3261 IMG_3260 IMG_3259 IMG_3258 IMG_3254 IMG_3237 IMG_3235 IMG_1029 IMG_1025 IMG_1008 IMG_0977 IMG_0953 IMG_0950 IMG_0938

Rainy day fun

 

This morning we awoke to the sound of rain, music to our ears.  Penny, Teddy and Steve were excited to get out and run around in the rain which they did in their pajamas.  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.  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!!!!IMG_2975 IMG_9261 IMG_9262

Teddy found the life size cabbage patch lady a little odd-IMG_9266
