This year for
spring break we decided, at the last minute (of course!), to go camping. I
didn’t want to travel too far since the weather was a little cool so we decided
to go to Chickasaw. It was our first time to go there and it definitely won’t
be our last! After church on Sunday, we headed out and stayed 3 days and 2
nights. The park was very nice. We were the only campers around our site so it
was quiet. We enjoyed sitting by the fire, eating marshmallows, riding horses,
riding bikes, napping, just being lazy. It was so nice to have a break for
reality for a few days! Lydia said several times that it was her favorite
vacation, better than the beach! Whoa!!!
Loaded up and
truckin!
We managed to
wear Layton AND Reece out in the same trip = success!
Riding bikes
The horseback
riding was one of our favorite parts. We all agreed that it was one of the
coolest things we have ever done as a family.
Both girls did great listening to the guide when he told them how to go
up and down hills. We rode for 1 hour. The guide told us we went approximately
5 miles through the woods! It was beautiful.
On the last
night, we all decided to stay 1 more night and day but when we woke up the next
morning, the wind was crazy and the temperatures were falling. We decided that
mama & daddy would stay off 1 more day and go to the Discovery Park of
America the next day.
The Discovery
Park of America is a new museum type park in Union City. It is 3 stories tall
and full of dinosaurs facts, Tennessee history, an earthquake simulator, lots of science things, military history, old
cars and trucks on display, small aquariums and a 2 story slide! The outside
has several different parts that you can walk through too; old log cabins,
barns, a train depot, several old town
set up’s. It was really neat to walk around and look at everything. We will
definitely go back again.
