Rock Climbing in Chattanooga

















My friend Karen, her daughter Morgan, Jacob, Ryan, Aaron and I went to Chattanooga today. First we went to visit Rock City where Ryan decided to try rock climbing. He got about 1/2 way up, got nervous and repelled down. Next came Jacob who got about as far as Ryan had, he had trouble lifting his leg for the next foot hold and repelled down.



















Then Aaron wanted to try. I said no because the bigger boys had so much trouble and the big ole tears started to fall...... I couldn't hand the guy my $5.00 quick enough! Aaron ended up going past where the other two boys went; not to the top but still further! Then the big brave rock climbers went to visit the Easter Bunny!




Jacob and Morgan decided they were too big the the Easter Bunny, we settled on just a bench shot of them. After Rock City we finally found the zoo. If you haven't gone before, don't bother! If you must visit it, go on Wed when it only cost $1.00 a person to get in. Sorry Chattanooga, but your zoo is not much and it is very hard to find. We walked around the older part of Chattanooga before stopping in Murfreesboro to go to the Red Lobster for dinner. Ryan and Aaron are now converts after tasting the cheesy, garlic biscuits; YUM!!! Finally got home around 10:00 PM after dropping off the boys. What a long day and lots of driving. Izzy is pooped after spending the day watching Teble and Dan work in their yard and playing with her friend Lily. Time to say, " Good night!"

Stupid Weather!!

What is the deal!!! Why does it have to get so cold every Spring when I get the gardening bug? I finally get into the weed pulling mood and get motivated and used to being active again and WHAM...it get cold again. I worked digging up Bermuda Grass on the side flower bed only to watch the torrential rain wash all my loamy dirt to the end of the yard. I got more (not as good) dirt and finished digging up weeds and volunteer shrubs so that I could try to plant flowers and mulch ahead of the next storm. I go a lot done but didn't finish before the rain so I piled all the dirt and mulch bags around the bed to keep the new dirt from washing away. I had to move all the new flowers I bought into the garage to keep them from freezing... the garage looks nice! Now I need to get the Easter stuff down so I can stuff the eggs for the Easter Egg Hunt, of course it is suppose to rain Sunday evening. Teble in right God must have a sense of humor.
