Katherine spent the day with her friend, Emily, in Chattanooga. They haven't seen each other in several years, but have been good pen pals.
The girls enjoyed talking and making flower necklaces.
After a few hours we decided that we needed to go to Brusters to get some ice cream and a walk around the park.
The girls took their shoes off (or socks) and enjoyed walking in the creek.
It didn't take long before they were soaked...but they had fun!
Regan spent a few days with our friends. She was invited to tea...a new southern experience
They went to the family barn and rode horses.

playing on the swings
We had Ms. Edna over for dinner.
Hudson drew Ms. Edna a picture
The chipmunks have decide that they like Katherine's tomatoes. So we threw these off for them to finish eating. Now Katherine has made a mixture of pepper and garlic plus some cinnamon sticks nearby and it seams to be working. They have left them alone for a few days.
Katherine wanted to show me how she could swing sideways. She asked me to push her and then laughed so much. She said that Lauren and Hudson couldn't get her so high.
The big tree in the back of our house is coming down! We were told that it had a disease.
The kids enjoyed watching the process...all day long!
It looks so different without that tree there!
I really just took this picture for the memories. Yes, we all see them everywhere every day, but in 30 years I'm hoping it's a distant memory.
Regan was able to get her learners permit!!
I think she still prefers public transportation over driving, but she had fun learning the ropes. She said it was a little scarier than go karts ;) She did a good job!
