Feeling Like Fall

The weather has been absolutely beautiful!  Today we decided to pack a picnic and go hiking.

 We hiked at the Narrows of the Harpeth.  We didn't really know if there would be a shallow place for the girls to swim safely, so we didn't have them wear their swimsuits.  Luckily we packed towels because we figured they would do some wading.

 Our hike led us to one of the oldest man made tunnels in the United States.  The water flowing through the tunnel made for a perfect little swimming hole:-)

 So the girls did much more than wading:-)

 On our hike back to the car, Cadence had the camera, so she and Devon were lagging WAY behind Lyric, Story and I!  She had to stop every few seconds to 'take a pict,' as she put it.

Great day enjoying some great weather!

Adventure Science Center

The girls and I spent the morning at the Adventure Science Center.  They had fun with the Toyland Exhibit.

 Lyric played with the dominoes for quite a while.  They like to set up stuff like this with our dominoes, but these were really cool because they were bigger than regular ones.  I think I may try to get them some like this for Christmas.

 They liked playing with this pulley system, too!  They have had a set up like this at home for a few weeks now.  Only their system doesn't involve a pulley.  They have our mop bucket hanging from a rope thrown over the deck railing.

 Lyric spelled her name with the Tinker Toys.

A visit to the science center would not be complete without a spin in the wheel chairs!

Mud Pie Cooking

Cadence was busy in her mudpie kitchen when I got home tonight.  She made me some special soup.

 She then let me watch while she made one of her special pies.

 She explained how it has to cook for a couple of days then she adds the sprinkles.

Trash Talking Englishman

Story interviewed Devon before our Olympics tonight.  Lyric decided to do a little trash talking, but reporter Story wasn't having it!
