Visiting Nashville Family

Dear Sis,

We just got home from a wonderful visit to Nashville. We arrived Monday evening. Granny Bob made some of her wonderful beef stew! 

Tuesday, we started the day with breakfast at Great Granny’s and a visit to a local playground.

Then we visited Opry Mills Mall. We had lunch in the food court, William and Daddy road the carousel, we ate yummy cookies, and enjoyed the mall play area.

P-pop and Daddy watching William play.

We returned to Great Granny’s for a family filled evening. Uncle Jim grilled delicious steaks, and all the uncles, aunts, and cousins visited. We supplied dessert… Watermelon Jello Jigglers we were testing out for Evelyn’s party.

Wednesday, we hung out with Great Granny, Granny Bob and P-pop, Uncle Jason for a few hours before we headed home.

We rode a ferry on the way home! William got a kick out of it… to say the least:)

The ferry isn’t the fastest way to cross the Kentucky/Ohio line, but it is the most fun!

After crossing, we watched the ferry go back across.

Our visit was short, but wonderfully sweet!

Love,

Clean up

Hi Sis,

Evelyn’s newly discovered, and rapidly growing mobility has made it so she can cruz around the house, play play play, and even put away her toys. She has started to put away her toys without my help or motivation. 

She took out the cheese grater to play with, and put it back when she was done. Normally, I do not wedge it in sideways on top a flipped over water bottle, but one must start somewhere. 

Evelyn also has been seen putting away her books, blocks, stuffed toys, and kitchen finds (The whisk and avocado oil are favorites) She also is mimicking me cleaning! Yesterday, the laundry basket and I got wiped down with a dry sponge. 😂 

A video, that for some reason is only uploading as a link?
