Tennessee day two

Our second full day in Tennessee was a full and fun one. We woke up at Marcia and Dave's again (opps...MarMar and Poppy). We packed up and on the way out stopped to meet Korey (I have no idea how she spells it) Graham's wife and their three beautiful daughters.
This is Abby with the oldest girl Kaelyn (again not sure of the spelling)
Here we have Erin with Aryn (both Bears:-)) And below is Raely (spelling?)
We had some donuts and then took a group picture with MarMar and Poppy.

After our brief visit with the Asch girls we headed out to the "waterfall property". 40 acres out in the Tennessee "wilderness" near the original Nachez Trace. Dave and his sons have built a beautiful new cabin out there and their family spends some special times out there. We were thrilled to have them share it with us.







Upper left is the cabin the "boys" have built. The middle is a picture of Travis and Poppy on the catwalk that connects the two lofts. The picture on the right is Mutt and Jeff in one of the lofts. Travis looks like he's in a stockade.There were a lot of butterflies fluttering about. This one landed on Erin's knee.


We spent some time near the cabin then drove down to the waterfall. It was beautiful. Marcia showed us a lot of the damage and changed conditions left behind after the floods of May 2010. The kids had a good time climbing, wading, and, of course, because they are boys, they had to throw something over the falls.

Erin displayed a lot of patience while we hiked and played. But after awhile I got the idea that she was ready to head to Chattanooga.





This may be why...
So now we are in a Comfort Inn in Chattanooga. We shall try church tomorrow if we can get up that early. Perhaps a meal with Josh's family and then random fun in the south through Monday afternoon. Thanks for reading my dull story...because it took me a long time to put all these pictures up:-)

  1. Looks like fun! I have friends who live in Franklin, TN. You texted me about posting pics on blogger...it's a pain. I do 3-4 at a time depending on the speed of the internet. I can't figure out how to arrange them once their loaded though and they post backwards.
