Friends

I just found this unpublished post of adorable pictures!

Birds!

We had a very icy day and the birds thought it was awesome.  I took a bunch of pictures of them and wanted to put them somewhere.  I saw several birds I wanted to get pictures of, but I wasn't fast enough, like the titmouse.  I also only got really bad pictures of the song sparrow, which is so cool looking.

Lady purple finch maybe?

Male house finch

Day Tripping to Chattanooga

Last Tuesday I hopped in the car and headed to Chattanooga with only a loose plan and knowing Sarah was going to meet us.  We went to the Chattanooga Zoo and hung out for a while, then went to the aquarium and got some ice cream.  At that point, we thought, what the hey, let's just go to Rock City!

Having memberships to places is awesome.

This crane thought Connor was good eating.

Connor was super into the peacocks.

Eamon saying hi to the alligators.

"Hey you jaguar!"

We attempted to go on the carousel with the boys, but Connor just wanted to sit and watch and Eamon was kind of freaked out the whole time.  I don't think we will be repeating that any time soon.

Sassy carrying Eamon to the aquarium.

"Look at my pink flower!"

Could he be cuter?

Eamon was so happy to see the penguins.

Playing with the cars we got at the zoo gift shop.

Connor thinks the tunnel is really awesome.

Snack time!

We got to Rock City around 4, and it was actually feeling pretty good outside! Brisk, but nice enough to walk the whole of the trail.  Connor started off walking, but I got him on my back pretty quickly.

Someone only had a 45 minute nap.

Connor said the red meant "stop!"

No squeezing for little short babies.

Playing with his toy from the aquarium gift shop.

So cute!

He's giving Sassy a hug.

See seven states!

I love this kid.

Group selfie!

Connor was really into the waterfall.

Thanks for the trip Sass!  I couldn't have done it without you!
