Roadtrip to Chattanooga's Discovery Museum

Yesterday, the four of us went on a roadtrip with other families from church to Chattanooga. We had a GREAT time!

Digging for dinosaurs was one of Lincoln's favorite. Catherine loved the sand too.
The kids also put on play in the drama area. Catherine was a dancer. Lincoln was too busy performing (or giving orders) to catch him in a picture. Here are 5 of the 8 mommies that went. Our children totaled 18- ages ranging from 12 months to 7 years old. It is a blessing to be surrounded by so many great moms and kids!
Lincoln playing postman in the cool Clifford exhibit.

The Clifford exhibit which ended up being our favorite. Besides a BIG Clifford and many other fun climbing areas, the kids had an equal amount of fun making letters to Clifford (or each other) and mailing them. Catherine told me she wrote a letter to Clifford in "yellow".

Jake and Walden are 2 of Lincoln's best buddies.
Catherine and Coleman's first cruise in a convertible.
Catherine and Coleman had fun in the area for 4 year olds and under. It was nice that there was an area that "fenced" them in. It was also nice to be able to send Lincoln to another more age-appropraite area with our friends and not have to worry about him.

Will (red shirt) and Coleman. Thankfully, Coleman didn't dump water on him.
We were gone ALL day and the moms were exhausted (as were the babies)! But the fun, smiles, and time together was great. All of my kids slept past 8 am today so let's go everyday- ha!!
