Day 4 - Eliesha & Julia Visit TN

On our way to Chattanooga for a day at the Aquarium. But you have to start the day off right....at Cracker Barrel.Julia's loving the Legless Lizard...yuck!

Love at first sight...
This picture makes me laugh so hard. They are standing in a tube inside the tank, but it just looks so darn weird, it cracks me up.
This is actually two butterflies back to back. But I love how it looks like an owl...or a gremling. At the touch tank. We could pet sharks and sting rays.
Dinner at the BreweryOn our way home....

Day 5 - Eliesha & Julia Visit TN

Saturday was a lazy day. We just relaxed and watched movies in the morning. In the afternoon we decided to take a drive out to Opry Mills Mall. We were having a grand ole' time. Laughing and enjoying the day...until we got an ALARMING phone call....



Uncle Paul called to tell us there was a TORNADO headed our way and we must stay in the mall until it passed. Eek!!


Our shock and fear only lasted a few moments and then we were on to more shopping and giggling...Julia loving the Banjo music.
Doesn't country look good on her?? She was fixing to get that there hat.

Day 6 - Eliesha & Julia Visit TN

Sunday, we spent the day at John and Jan's house (Paul's parents). Jan of course prepared an amazing Southern lunch.
After lunch the games began. Uncle Paul and Julia played bowling, tennis, and golf on Wii.
Julia giving Paul some lessons on how to play the game.
On to Scrabble...
Later that night, someone is really excited about Nachos....
Before Julia got here, she told me over the phone that she would rather be with me in Tennessee then in Spokane eating Ice Cream. WOW!! Now that is love!! So, Uncle Paul and I thought it was very important to have the freezer stocked with her favorite ice cream...that way she could have both!!

Day 7 - Eliesha & Julia Visit TN

The last morning to snuggle with Buttons...Cherished Friend of 26 years. I sure wish we lived closer together....but treasuring the precious times we do have together. I think Uncle Paul took the cake in Julia's opinion....not that it was a competition {cough} but Uncle Paul was definately the favorite.
Sooo going to miss this face and giggle.Julia is proving that it is IMPOSSIBLE to frown when you have a ktty in your arms...Packed and ready to head to the airport (she looks awfully happy)...Eliesha your friendship is a gift to me. Only God could have known how much I would need you you in my life. Thank you for your friendship. And Julia is the cherry on top....love you both so much! Thank you for coming to visit, we sure are going to miss you!!
