We did venture outside the comfy chairs around Nan's tree. We took a little field trip to Centennial Park, where Abbey was amazed by pretty much everything. One of her favorite new concepts is "big", so she loved seeing the BIG building, the BIG statue, the BIG train, and the BIG plane.

I know the picture is a little dark, but here she is just seconds before running under the rope surrounding the statue. I had to go retrieve her, then we left before they could kick us out!
Daddy and Abbey checking out the BIG train.
Aha, a rock!
Just when we thought we were back to obeying the rules, Ryan and Donnie decided to climb onto the train. The train that is clearly labeled with a sign saying, "Do Not Climb on the Locomotive". No wonder Abbey had trouble following the rules inside the Parthenon.

So glad to see you played tourist this time :o) Looks like a nice relaxing time in Tennessee. My kind of vacation. We'll have to make it up there sometime soon. Maybe when my Mom is feeling a little better she might be able to handle another airplane ride. I loved looking at all the pictures. Looks like everyone is doing well. Also, congratulations to you, Ryan and Abbey for the new addition coming soon. I am so thrilled to hear this. You'll have to let us know the due date. Hope all is well in MI. Talk to you soon.
