Nashville - Day Two

The Parthenon
The children were speechless when they saw the replica for the Parthenon in Nashville....
then, it was time for a photo op.....
what started out as one child getting a photo taken.....
turned into all three posing for a pic.....

and this little one was not going to be left out either!
The rest of our day was spent touring the local Cheekwood Gardens. The children, one of whom anticipated NOT enjoying the train exhibit, ALL loved the exhibit as well as the well manicured gardens on the property. Only once did I have to pull a particular little bit from the newly planted flowers :) The children were more than excited that I opted to leave the camera in the car! Our daily routine is setting in.....we get up, do school, explore a bit, rest a bit, have a candy snack - a real treat :) - and then it is out to dinner followed by watching football until lights out! The real treat has been having Ryan with us for breakfast - he is always well into his day of work when the rest of us awaken. And, he isn't wearing his traditional work attire, a company shirt and jeans. Instead, he is able to wear a button up shirt and khakis.....the children have all asked why he isn't wearing his "work clothes." Creatures of habit, that is for sure!
