Tennessee Time

Larry had a miraculous three days off in a row so we took advantage and drove to visit Marissa and Mike in Tennessee. They live out in the country. Wouldn't you love to have this view from your backyard? We made it there Friday evening just in time for the first harvest from their garden. Mike was pretty excited.
Creed cuddled right up to Aunt Marissa and his future cousin.
Marissa and Mike are much cooler than we are because this is what's in the middle of their living room.

We spent most of Saturday in Knoxville. We caught the end of a farmers' market in Market Square. We learned how you make pie a little bit better; you deep fry it of course!
We found Fort Kid while we were roaming Knoxville.
It was nice to celebrate Father's Day with a new dad and a soon to be dad. Larry bought himself a tie and pizza cutter for Father's Day. He loves my nephew Cole's pirate hat so I got him two so he can play pirates with Creed when he's a little bit bigger and I also bought Creed some "I love Dad" pajamas.
We celebrated Tennessee style with a good ole watermelon seed spitting contest.
Thanks Marissa and Mike for being wonderful hosts!
