Post Christmas Activities

The adults shared a fun evening out in the downtown area. While I only have one shot, it is a great shot of Pa Mark, Uncle Tim and daddy. We'll have to do this more often.

The day after our adult evening out, we rented a mini-van and all drove to the Chattanooga aquarium and Children's Creative Discovery Center. Despite a traffic hiccup on the way home, we had a fun day. We all slept well that night too!

Kaitlyn and Madelyn looked at an interactive screen.

Madelyn tried to explore on her own. She walked a bunch that morning.


Daddy helped Madelyn get a better view of the fish swimming around.

Uncle Tim lifted Kaitlyn up several times to see the shark and huge turtle.

Kaitlyn and Madelyn got captured in a shark cage.
After the aquarium, we stopped for lunch and daddy tried their beer sampler. They gave generous pours. Madelyn missed this event as she fell asleep at the aquarium after all her running around and slept through all of lunch. Now I know how to wear her out!

A well rested Madelyn played in the water. She loved it!


Kaitlyn loved being an archaeologist.

After a fun day of swimming, drinking hot chocolate, eating ice cream and cupcakes, we all enjoyed some homemade pizza and salad. It turned out pretty good if I do say so myself.


Kaitlyn and Mary Ann made little pizzas, which Madelyn scarfed down in minutes.
Before Pa Mark, Mary Ann and Uncle Tim headed out, everyone joined in a fun game of Pallina.


Since we're all about food at our house I couldn't help but show our cucumber and hummus hors d' oeuvres that we made for New Year's Eve. They tasted great!!
