Our Tennessee Trip

Last weekend we took a trip to Tennessee to visit our family. We had not been to visit in quite some time, so we were really excited for our trip. Evan was especially excited to Marlee, who was not there the last time we visited. Preston was only a baby the last time we saw Marlee and he kept telling us how excited he was and that he was going on a trip to "see my new friend." It was so cute!

The boys did VERY well travelling to Tennessee. They are usually pretty good when we travel, but they were exceptionally good travelers this time. We made it in to Aloca a bit late, as there was lots of rain, fog and traffic. We were able to stop by Aunt Karol's house to see everyone and play for a bit, before heading to our hotel.

On Saturday morning, we all went to a trampoline park! It was our first time going and we had a great time! Evan was doing flips and Preston enjoyed swinging on the trapeze bar and then falling into the foam pit! 

Later, the weather was nicer and we all went to the zoo. The Knoxville Zoo is really nice and we had fun seeing new animals, like the red pandas. They boys even got to ride a camel!

We had a nice pizza dinner with everyone before heading back to the hotel, where the boys promptly fell asleep! 

We got in a quick visit with Karol and Marlee on Sunday morning, before they had to leave for church. We had planned on going up to the mountains, but since the boys were tired and no one could join us, we went ahead and went home. We were back by mid afternoon, so we were able to squeeze in a bit more fun by fishing and watching a new movie, Aladdin. 

Ready for the zoo!

Froggy fun!

The boys had lots of fun on the camel ride!

It was so much fun to hang out with Jamie again! We took our picture on the lion, since the boys were not interested!

Jamie got to feed the giraffe! The boys wanted to feed the giraffe too, but he was no longer hungry.

The zoo had chimpanzees and Preston thought they were really interesting.

As with our zoo, Preston loved the goats! He really liked getting to brush them and showing them and playing with the goats and the their toys.

The zoo hosts hosts Boo at the Zoo, so the boys had fun on the cool pirate scenery. Ahoy, matey!

Despite not getting a nap and staying up late, Preston was in a REALLY good mood!

The boys fell asleep within seconds of laying down in their beds!

Preston had so much fun, that he was able to sleep the whole way home!

We went fishing and enjoyed the newly fixed trail when we got home.  I think Evan caught the smallest fish ever!
