Playing at the Park

The boys and I stopped in Memphis on our way to Nashville and then onto Washington D.C.  My nephew and his wife live there, so we crashed with them for a night. THANKS GUYS!

I had planned to take the boys to Graceland - every kid needs to meet The King!!!  But, the timing just didn't work out.  We still had 3-4 hours to kill before heading to meet the hubster in Nashville though.

Shelby Farms had a new park that I had heard was great - the Woodland Discovery Playland. So, we headed there for the afternoon. My kids are getting a bit old for playgrounds, but this one looked like it might have activities for their ages.

It was GREAT!!!

Three Story Tower Slide



Huge pit for sliding and climbing.


The design was just so cool. They have all these circular "cages" which they will grow vines onto. They also serve to feed kids into the various play areas.



Huge area with kid-powered swings and rides.





And this great climbing area which went high and low - in and out!

What a cool park - even for big kids!

Still Blogging...

We're still here, promise. Since I can't seem to blog consistently, I'm going to try to at least post a few pictures here to save the memories of our days.

In May, we went to Washington D.C. and had a fabulous time.

Great weather+great attitudes=great trip!










What a great field trip to end our year of American History!!! Another reason to love homeschooling!!!

Broken...

Well, I guess I need to update!!!

We've had A LOT going on lately. We took a trip to Nashville and Washington, D.C. which involved a 25 hour straight drive home, we've updated the RV oh so much more, and my youngest...well...he's broken...


He and Viper were playing on the trampoline, and apparently they lost track of whose turn it was to jump into the middle. Both jumped in, backwards, and Vipers head slammed into Charger's arm and broke both bones.

Long story short - the ER told us he'd probably need surgery so to see an orthopedic doc ASAP. We saw the highly recommended doc the next day, were told he didn't need surgery, got the cast the next week, then learned that it was put on improperly.

Onto the next orthopedic doc who said that surgery was now indeed necessary, and we are scheduled for that next Tuesday. Hopefully, after that, we will be onto just what you expect -- break an arm, cast it, and get on with complaining about being stuck in a cast!
