A Visit From Aunt Les

Last week, we had a short visit from a super close friend of ours from Indiana. Aunt Les was here for 2 days and we felt obligated to show her EVERYTHING that Kingsport has to offer. This made for a busy, but quite fun, visit! First, we started with "Open Gym" at our local gymnastics place. I think that Aunt Les had more fun on the trampoline and in the foam pit than the girls!
Then it was time for some outside playtime (tickling) at Castle Morris....

..followed by a visit to Pals, a popular local hamburger joint, with the BEST sweet tea in the world! (Laney and Keely love their sweet tea...)

After naptime for Lulu, a challenge after all that sweet tea, we were off to Bays Mountain to see some animals. It was the first time ALL the animals were awake and easy to see, including the wolves and the river otters! Then, a stop at Nannie and Papa Lee's house turned into a dinner visit so that Keely could "finish" her nap!

We ended our Tour De Kingsport at Discovery Ice Cream, a cute downtown ice cream shop, where the girls put in a token and get "ice cream from a robot". This place just so happens to have the BEST cake batter ice cream on the planet! Then, we took our ice cream out into the downtown streets for "Bluegrass on Broadway", where the kids showed Aunt Les how to cut a rug! It was so much fun to have such a great friend share some of our favorite places with us! Come back soon, Les! We love you!

.....Of course, that was last week, before Laney got pneumonia! We have since been stuck at home with a very miserable child! Fun times!
