Nashville Shores

Out family and the Huguley's headed up the Nashville shores on a beautiful Tuesday in June. Michelle and I were so tickled that both hubbies could come along too. It was a wonderful day. We invited Caity (our neighbor) to come along. We truly just wanted her to come and have fun with Michelle's older kids, but she enjoys playing with Katie and seemed to have a great day playing around with her. It was hot... boy was it hot... The kiddie pool was almost a hot tub, it was bordering on not even being refreshing anymore.
Here Michelle and I are pretending to be on a relaxing "ladies cruise".. It was a lovely moment there as we drank our fake pina coladas. :-) Everyone got a chance to go on some slides. Michelle and I watched kids while Brent and Robert went, and visa versa. At the end of the day the 4 of us enlisted the older children to watch in the baby pool and we ALL went and raced down a slide a few times. There was a slide where you had to lay on your stomach, face down on a mat and kick off at the top. It was steep and fast, but really fun, and we could all go at the same time racing for first place!! Brent dominated, but I was only worried about beating Michelle, which I DID!!! LOL!!! (insert evil laugh)
The kids took turns on these fun sliding obstacles... I tried them..... HA HA HA.. what a mess.
Michelle has a really cool underwater camera... we had a fun time taking under water photos too. We packed lunches and ate outside on their lawn, there was a really nice little shaded area for 'brown baggers'. The weather was hot... the water was warm and for the most part children were happy, and stayed close to us.
Katie spent the bulk of her day here in the kiddie pool playing on all the toys here. She enjoyed jumping "over" or on, as the case may be, the waves. She was so funny in the wave pool. She also loved the lazy river, it was just her speed. Tori did some slides, but spent a lot of time here too. Alex and Liza both did a lot of slides, AND they got to go Kayaking. Alex really enjoyed kayaking.
When all was said and done... Michelle and I were left to decide what was for dinner... guess where we landed... yup... Taco Bell. :-) Between our family (which was 7) and the Huguley's (which make 9) we had quite the group there in that little Taco Bell. :-) The kids were all SOOO good, and everyone was tuckered out!! All in all, a very successful day.
