Vacation Day 15 - Friday - Last Day

Today is the last day of our vacation. And this morning we could feel it was time to go home! Isaac was very upset about everything! But we managed to still have a fun day!! We finally got to go to Tyler Arboretum to see the tree houses. Grandma, the kids and I all went while jay stayed home and packed. It was very nice but hot and the kids were exhausted! I got more pictures on my camera but here are a few I was able to get on my phone. 

We rode in Grandma's car there so dad could pack the van. Here are the kids all together with their sunglasses on. 

This was at the imagination tree house. They had a bin with dress up clothes the kids tried on and put on a play for Grandma and me and a few other spectators. Who loved it:) 

Isaac is the dragon, Elijah is the Prince and Noa is the Princess. 

Having lunch.

Cooling down with the ice pack. 

This was in front of one of the tree houses. They had the three bear chairs. Papa bear, mama bear and baby bear. This is them all sitting in the big papa chair. 

We didn't get to see all of them but we did see most of them and more than I thought we would after lunch. They were all so exhausted, hot and complaining. We found a fun magical path that had fairies and knolls and little houses all down the path. That got them a little excited to see a little more. We were able to find the strumming and drumming tree house that was shaped like a guitar and they could play music inside it. Very fun. That was our last tree house. Then we headed back home. 

Dad had the van packed when we got home. The kids watched a little more Nanny McPhee while we finished packing the last few things. We said goodbye to grandma and headed out. 

We made one more stop before we headed home. We had to wish Shirl a happy birthday. We stopped by for pizza and to say goodbye to everyone. 

Noa helping Shirl open her present from us and Tom. 

Noa and Elijah eating chocolate cake. 

We got pjs on and headed home. 

Elijah was the first one to sleep. Isaac took a nap then woke up to finish watching the Incrediables. Noa hung in thru two movies!!

Nice drive home. I hear TN is not so nice. Hopefully the rain will stop when we get there!

Isaac even said, pretty sunset!! :-)

We are in Tennessee!!

Vacation Day 14 - Thursday, July 4th

Happy Fourth of July!!! We started our morning making and icing cupcakes!

Then we went and played in the creek. 

Noa fell on the way to the creek trying to catch up to the boys:(

Once she got in the creek her knee was all better!!

Kisses for mom!!

After the creek we went home and got ready for the Fourth of July party on the farm. 

Noa and the cupcakes. 

Great party at the farm. Swimming in the pond, good food, and fireworks!

Then headed home. It was a great 4th!!
