Chattanooga

Back at the beginning of June we spent a week in Chattanooga while Josh did a bathroom remodel for his parent's neighbors. One of the guys that works for Josh also came up for the week and brought his wife and daughter. They have a little girl who is four months older than Lucy. Holly is also a good friend of mine and we had a lot of fun doing stuff with the girls while we were there. One day we took the girls to the Chattanooga Discovery Museum.

"Vroom Vroom" :)

Having fun at the coloring station

Archeological dig

Dusting off dinosaur bones

They had face paint for the kids and I put kitty whiskers on Lucy

This is a picture of her looking at herself in the mirror...haha

She kept scrunching her nose and shaking her head at Hosanna who had a butterfly painted on her face :)

Grammy and Lucy playing with some modeling clay

Afterwards we took the girls down to the area outside of the Chattanooga aquarium to play in the water

We didn't bring their bathing suits so we just stripped them down to their shirts and diapers

The next day we ventured down to Atlanta, Georgia to go to IKEA. I have never been there before so it was a new experience for me. The girls did great (all things considered). It was a pretty long car ride. It ended up taking us about four hours round trip because we ran into traffic on the way back. They didn't have the kid's table and chairs that Holly and I both wanted to get for the girls. It was out of stock :( But I did get a salad spinner for 4 bucks and an art smock for Lucy for 2 bucks.

Thursday we just took it easy and brought Lucy and Hosanna to the play area at the mall.

Lucy loved the slide!

Later that afternoon we let them play in the water. They had a blast :)

I thought it was so funny that Lucy took a liking to Hosanna's doll stroller while we were there. She literally pushed it all over the house. She has one but she has never shown much interest in it. Now that we're back she plays with hers all the time.

Here is a picture of her playing with her doll stroller when we got home. Same cheesy grin... haha

Lucy and Hosanna playing on the stairs :)

We tried our best to keep them off the stairs but they were very persistent...lol

Loving on each other :)

Not sure what is going on with Lucy's hair in this picture. It kind of looks like a comb over, lol

I had a great time hanging out with my friend Holly all week. Unfortunately we didn't see the guys much. They were working hard and had to put in some long days. But it was nice that they were right next door. I would definitely do it again. I felt like I was on vacation all week...minus Josh :)
