Last "hurrah" of summer

We decided to surprise the kids on Monday and took them to Chattanooga ... With school starting Wednesday.
Mike and I were talking ... It was funny because last time we came -- Jordan was pushing us thru.  This time it was Nic pulling us along ... Or trying to.  Constance would have loved to stay and see the animals and critters they bring out.  The boys just wouldn't sit still that long.
The butterflies and sting days are always a big hit.  Nic was so excited when the butterflies landed on him.  Constance found one that had only 2 legs ...
You really can't go wrong with the sharks either.  I loved the many faces of my boys in the shark cage.
The kids were go, go, go ... Until we got here.  They decided to take up residence.  Constance volunteered to move in -- she thought this would be a perfect room.  I really can't say that I disagree with that.  We had to push them out -- they really enjoyed just relaxing there.
Between the sharks and now jellyfish ... I don't know if Jordan will ever have a desire to get in the ocean.  I was telling the kids about how jellyfish can sting you and told them Sister Carico got stung by one just last week.  That might have been a mistake.
With the nice warm weather we let the kids wade in the little stream before we decided to head over to the pedestrian bridge.

On the way to the bridge mike and I were talking about how we wished we knew where to find the stairs with water going down .  We'd seen it on a commercial for Chattanooga.  We were getting ready to cross the street when I saw a cool looking bridge and wanted to get a picture of it.
I was so glad I did -- we found the stairs.  Our kids decided they would much rather play in the water for a bit rather then cross the bridge.  They had a blast!
