A visit with our TN girls.

Have Barbies will travel. The good part about driving for vacation is that you get to bring more toys right!!! There was lots of Barbie play and to Jim's chagrin...the boys participated too. Auntie Jeanne had to remind him that her girls have played with many of the boys' toys on their many visits. Of course the Barbies don't hold up to boy roughness...so I'm expecting a bill from the girls any day now :) The water was beautiful...like a tub. I even went in several times, on Auntie Chris' raft of course. I'm not chancing that big turtle just yet and the bottom is double YUCK. The water was so low because of the lack of rain that the grass and weeds are growing taller. They love the sunshine.

The kids were busy collecting clams. Unfortuneatly for me...fresh water clams aren't the eating variety. IF they were, I'm guessing there wouldn't be any to collect :)A teenie tiny baby. I'm told they found an even smaller one, but I wasn't game to get off my sunning chair to grab the camera.No visit is complete without a marshmallow fire.Jamie wasn't quite a fan of the fire at first. Seems the smoke always seemed to find her which isn't so good with asthma :/ A great trip with a sad ending...they had to drive back home. I was sitting with Jamie one day snuggling on the beach chair. She said, "I know...you love me. Jenna always wishes you guys would move to TN". I said, "you know what we wish? That you guys would move here. Why don't we just cut out the land in between us?" To which she answered, "Yeah because it's a loooonnnnnnnnnnngggg ride to get here". Love these girls!!!!
