So Busy!

We have been super busy since the move, but it has all been great! We are enjoying being near a big city and all it has to offer and am loving having the boys at home with me each day. I won't lie, it is tough at times, but when I see the spark in their eye about learning, it is all worth it.

Here are a few pictures from our past week and the various things we have been doing. Enjoy!

Sunday afternoon we went to Ft. Loudon. The boys are trying out some 18th century games.

The view from the Fort. Beautiful.

The boys posing with one of the cannons that was used during the Civil War re-enactment.

Soldiers!

All work and no play make dull boys. Yeah right. We did go to a minor league playoff baseball game.

Knoxville Zoo

Sunday afternoon, we traveled to Knoxville to the zoo. We had been studying the animals and thought this would be a fun field trip to see those animals in real life.

The boys had a great time and were so excited to see all the animals. We had to slow them down to truly "see" the animal before they raced onto the next one.

Seth studied the red panda.

Look at how long the condor's wingspan is.

University of Tennessee Game

Well, we are now officially transplants. While my heart will always remain in Georgia, my head is firmly planted in Tennessee. Steve has tickets for the University of Tennessee games through work and so we were fortunate to take the boys to UT versus Montana last night.

It was exciting being in the college game day atmosphere. It has been a long time since we had been to a college football game. During the past few years we have been fortunate to attend college basketball and baseball, professional football, basketball, and baseball. But no college football. So we had a lot of catching up to do.

We arrived early, found our parking garage and tailgated until time to head to Neyland Stadium. After an hour and 40 minute rain delay, we were able to start the game. Tennessee started out the game with early touchdowns and pretty much routed Montana.

Looking forward to more games with the boys. We had a great time and certainly made some lasting memories.

I couldn't resist. I had to buy it!
