Katie Beth and I are camping out in the backyard. She is having a blast.
We have snacks, flashlights, Katie Beth’s doll, and movies on the iPad.
You can’t beat it.
Rainbow Mountain Trail Hike
We have climbed through and over rocks everywhere. We are hiking the Rainbow Mountain Loop trail. The weather is just super.
The Katie Beth got to pee outside on the trail. She thinks that is a woot!
We hiked about a mile and half. Katie Beth was in the carry most of the time. But, she climb the rocks and jump across rocks.
I think Karen was getting worked a little hard at some points. She did wonderful and looked great, too.

Water, Water, Water Everywhere
It seems that Katie Beth has been in every water fountain and water feature in downtown Chattanooga, TN.
Here she is painting the rocks with water.
The weather is great today.
Presently, we are heading back to the room to let Katie Beth nap prior to our next outing.
Creative Discovery Museum
We are climbing all over at the Creative Discovery Museum.
Katie Beth is having a blast. With all of the activities, she is almost running from one thing to the next. 
The dig site is busy with all the discoveries that Paleontologist Katie Beth has found during today’s dig.
Cave on the Trial
Katie Beth and I are hiking Monte Sano Mountain trails. We found a cave that I had long forgotten about on our first trail. Katie Beth liked the cave, but the LED light on my iPhone doesn’t cut it for a cave light.

A Child, A Bobbie Pin, and Less Than A Minute Unsupervised
Karen and Katie Beth were at Sherwood Park Pool swimming the other morning. They were leaving and Karen was locking the gate while Katie Beth waited.
Katie Beth decided to practice her idea of writing with a bobbie pin.
The picture doesn’t fully capture the detail or amount of “writing”.
Fans of the Day
Charlie Jones and Katie Beth got to be the Fans of the Day at the Huntsville Stars’ baseball game. Being the Fan of the Day means that you get ride onto the field with Homer, the team mascot.
Charlie went on to throw out the first pitch and run in the Dick’s Sporting Goods race (and win, again).
Tommy’s Pizza for Dinner
What a busy, busy day! We are ending it with pizza. How could you go wrong?
Karen, Katie Beth, and I have started to run out of energy.
Tomorrow, we start it all over with mass, donuts, and more fun in the sun and sand.
Beach Bash Downtown
Katie Beth is digging in the sand on Fountain Street.
There are water features, games, and more.
Rainbow Mountain Trails
We are out hiking this morning. We have never hiked this area, but we will be doing it more in the future.
The temperature is in the upper 80’s and the humidity is high. Katie Beth is sweating a lot.
Hiking was cut short, because Katie Beth found a playground on the trails.
The trails have a big variety of areas including cliffs, open areas, and forests.
