Our Chattanooga Adventure

You already know that we were at Vacation Bible School last week. We had a performance on Friday, which was the last day of VBS. After the performance, the fire truck came and sprayed us with the hose. We loved it and we brought Jessa into the spray with us.
Right after VBS on Friday, we went to Chattanooga because we wanted to see what it was like. Daddy did not go with us, so it was a girl family trip. It was fun.  We liked the balloon animals a lot.  Marina liked the indoor pool at the hotel. We went on the carousel at the splash pad. We also played on the animals and played in the fountains. I slipped a lot near the fountains, so I didn't like it as much.


 For dinner we ate Kid Cuisines. Mom has never let us have them before because she says they are junk. But we get to do special stuff on vacation. After dinner, we went to the hotel pool. At the indoor pool, we used Jessa's Dora headband as a dropper that we could catch in the water. Sometimes we had to swim to the bottom of the pool.  It was only 5 feet, so it wasn't hard!








On Saturday we went on the Chattanooga Ducks Boat Bus! I liked it, but I didn't love it because it went too slow.  Marina loved it because she got to drive.

After that, we went to the Chattanooga Aquarium. I liked the cute hedgehog! We loved everything!
We had a lunch break at Mellow Mushroom, then we went to the salt water building to see the penguins and the butterflies.
Here we are at the salt water building. I saw the penguins poop! We also went to the butterfly room. There were a bunch of butterflies.  We looked through the glass and saw all kinds of butterfly chrysalises.We put sugar on our fingers to attract butterflies, but it didn't work.  No butterflies landed on our fingers.  I guess they were sleepy!

After we got home, we played with our friends to the Y Pool.  This pool is fun! We love the big baby pool here! Marina isn't tall enough to go on the big slide yet, but she can go on the little yellow slide.
 Finally, Mom painted our front door red to match our new barn star. They match now!

After!
Goodbye Boys and Girls, Men and Women. The show is over! This weekend, we're going back to Chattanooga with Dad this time, and then on Friday we are going to Grandma's and then the beach!
