opryland

 We loved having an extra day with Jeff this weekend!  It was rainy so we decided to take the girls to Nashville and show them around Opryland.  When Jeff and I came on our trip out this way years ago, Nashville was by far my favorite place.  I think that's mostly why I was okay with the decision to make such a big change.  We really do love being so close to Nashville.  There is so much to do all year round.  We took the girls to the Opryland hotel because

 we figured they would think it was fun.  They loved it and think we should stay there...you know, stay in a hotel 35 minutes from home.  Ha ha. Maybe we will sometime...you only live once.

 The girls loved the water fountains and thought that throwing pennies in them was probably the best activity they have ever done.  Heidi kept asking me what she could do to earn pennies because she was sure that if she could earn money, this is how she would choose to spend it.  They also liked the escalators and would have enjoyed going up and down them for hours. We walked around all morning, went to lunch, and made it home for a late nap.  When everyone woke up we headed to our favorite lake to get our daily family walk in since the rain had let up and drove around to look at a few pieces of land.  It was pretty much the perfect day spent together.  I love these kinds of days.  Unfortunately last night was a long night with Savanna waking up in the middle of the night screaming...maybe a bad dream?  No one knows for sure, including her.  It took awhile to get her back to bed and then Caimbree was up shortly after I had fallen back to sleep and they were all up plenty early this morning.  So they are all a little on grumpy side today.  We are counting down the days to Saturday when we get Jeff home for the whole day!
