Chattanooga

Over Memorial day weekend, we took a trip to Chattanooga. We had never been to Chattanooga before, so we thought it would be fun to get away for a little while. I thought I would share a few pictures from our trip.
The first few pictures are at Coolidge park where Ava loved to run.



The fountain in the background was very crowded with lots of kids in their swimsuits running around. They had statues of animals circled around the fountain. Ava just wanted to sit on the statues and watch all the kids.
After the park we ate dinner at a restraunt downtown. We didn't know our child loved corn-on-the cob so much. Ava's balancing act.
After dinner, we went back to our hotel to go swimming. And as you can see in the picture below, Ava loved it!
She also loved riding in the elevators. She would get so excited every time.
On Monday, we went to the zoo. This is a picture of Jonathan and Ava in the petting zoo. Of course I preferred to stay back and watch, especially at this zoo. They had goats everywhere!
If you look closely in the picture below, Ava is holding her chest. That means that she's scared. (And I can understand why!)
And of course you must wash your hands after the petting zoo!
Adios Amigos!

Looks like you guys had a great time. Yeah I'm not a big fan of petting zoos myself. They call them wild animals because they belong in the wild.

Oh my! The picture of Ava eating corn on the cob with no hands made me laugh out loud. Too cute!! I'm glad you guys were able to get away and have a little family vacation. It looks like it was a great trip!

I love those pictures of Ava with the corn, Zane recently was running around the yard with 2 half cobs in his hands. They were like a comfort item for a half hour.
