Busy Week!

We have been busy this week! Today is our first day to just stay at home, so I thought I'd post a few pictures! On Monday we went to Nana and Papa's house and canned tomatoes! Papa planted over 100 tomato plants this summer and they are all coming in fast! So, I had my turn to get some tomatoes and Bettye and I canned 13 jars of tomatoes and 6 jars of salsa! Yummy! We will certainly enjoy all of these tomatoes this winter! Thanks Nana and Papa! Beckett and Helen enjoyed playing with Lillie and Connor while we worked on the tomatoes! It was a good day!

On Tuesday, we went to the last free family movie at Regal cinemas and saw "Firehouse Dog". Beckett loved it! He says it is his favorite movie of all time! After the movie we met our friend Julie and her nephew Mark at his neighborhood pool and swam all afternoon until the storms rolled in! That was a lot of fun! Thanks to Mark and "Jujy" for inviting us to swim with you! Sorry I didn't get any pics for the blog!

On Wednesday, we went to Dollywood with the Kirklands. "Kids Fest" will be over on Sunday and we wanted to get up there to see the Kratt brothers from the PBS kids show "Zoboomafoo"! Beckett has always enjoyed that show as well as their National Geo shows for kids, so we didn't want to miss them "live" at Dollywood! We are so glad we did! It was a great show! Very well done! Unfortunately, no flash photography was allowed in the theater, so we didn't get any pictures, but I did include some other pics from our day. It was very warm, so the kids wore swimsuits and did all of the water rides!

While we were there, we ran into our friends, "the heaters" aka The Baileys! Wheat, Lake, River and their mom and dad were at Dollywood too, so we had a quick picture with them!
