Family Time

So many of you know that we spend part of our time in a camper with Ben in Chattanooga.  Well, we went to Chattanooga on Saturday to go to Ben's work family night out at the baseball game.  We had a lot of fun and I was able to meet a lot of people that Ben works with. 



JJ holding on tight because the guide was being sarcastic and said that we were going to go fast and we better hold on.

 On Sunday, we got up and went to the open air market and got some yummy blackberries and strawberries.  We tried these blackberries dipped in white chocolate and I'm not even a white chocolate fan, but the combination of flavors was delicious.  Aubry had a yummy chocolate covered strawberry.  The boys had pretzels from this amazing bread stand. 

After our trip to the market we decided to use our Groupon for the Chattanooga Duck Ride.  The Duck is one of those vehicles from 1944 used in the war that went on land and water.  Kids had a lot of fun especially when we went down the ramp and splashed into the water.  Ben and I enjoyed the history.  The ride was a bit on the slow side, I think the guide said it can go up to 6 mph.  So needless to say Ben didn't get his fast thrill, but we had a nice time. 

After a quick lunch, we decided to go to the fountains to cool off.  I envisioned the kids just dipping their feet in and cooling off, but that isn't what happened.  The cool off resulted in both boys being completely soaked.  Isaac went completely under and JJ's clothes were completely drenched.  It was one of those moments where as a mom I just had to step back, relax and remind myself that a little water wouldn't hurt the kids.


All in all a great family day, with minimal fighting and just good relaxing fun - and thanks to Groupon - very cheap :)
