Tennessee Trip


We just got back from a great vacation in Norris, TN. Matt's Aunt and Uncle and 2 cousins live up there and have a lake house on Norris Lake. it is a beautiful lake. It is so clear and the water was perfect. Matt, Natalie, myself, Rick and Sharon all drove there! Yeap, that is some good grandparents to ride 13 hours in the car with a 17 month old. But she did great both ways. There were several fussy moments, but all was cured by the pacifier and a little Eeyore action!

As you can see, we spent a lot of time at the lake. Matt is an awesome wake boarder! He can jump wake to wake. He was doing great! We tried out a new toy called the wake skate, already on order for ourselves. It was really fun! I took several falls on it that was hilarious! I could not stop laughing at myself. The great thing was that it didn't hurt when you fell because you had no board attached to your feet to pull you down hard. I can't wait to try it again. Natalie loved swimming and jumping off the dock. She was a little monkey holding onto my life jacket. It was great because she would hold on herself and kick her feet like she was swimming by herself. And we both took some great naps!



The guys went golfing one day while the girls enjoyed some shopping. I picked out some of my birthday presents, thank you Matt! One night, we went to Calhoun's in Knoxville, a restaurant by the river. And they had a live band. And of course, Natalie put on her dancing shoes! She was making the singer laugh so hard that she had to stop singing at one point. It was so cute! Our little super star! We had a wonderful time out there! I still feel like I am standing on the dock! Thanks so much John and Laura for your hospitality and a great visit! We had a blast! It was great to hang out with Little John and Elizabeth also! You guys are awesome! We hope to see you soon! Maybe when the baby is born! (not my baby, Melissa's)
