Cane Creek Park

Last Tuesday, June 22, Grammy drove up from Knoxville where she was attending an in-service for school at UT. She watched Kennedy for us Wednesday morning while I took Reagan to her violin lesson and then drove us back to Tennessee with her. It is so much easier for me to travel with help and I don't think I could have gone for any extra days without Grammy driving out of her way for us. Thank you so much Grammy, it was nice to have the extra time with you and visiting friends!

On Thursday morning Grammy suggested going to a park before it got too warm. While we did go out early it was still so hot and humid! We had fun at Cane Creek Park while we were there but I don't think we lasted much more than an hour in the heat.

Grammy and the girls sliding down a big slide together

Cane Creek has lots of different play areas and we played at three of them. This one is close to the lake and both girls enjoyed the climbing wall.

The girls enjoying swinging together with help from Grammy (when I was a kid these were actual tire swings)

There are always lots of ducks at Cane Creek. The ducks are obviously used to being fed because they always come right up to you. We forgot to bring bread to feed them but the girls still got a big kick out of how close the ducks came. I guess because we were so close to the water Kennedy kept looking at the ducks and then pointing to the lake saying "water." I guess she thought the ducks were confused about where they were supposed to be and she was doing her best to straighten them out. lol :)

After watching the ducks for a while we drove up to the largest playground area. Reagan enjoyed this bridge while making me pretend to be the troll who lives under the bridge from Dora the Explorer.

Kennedy enjoyed walking across the bridge with help from Grammy

Kennedy loved sliding down the tube slide with Grammy

Reagan decided it looked like Kennedy and Grammy were having fun and needed to join them too :)

Taking a break to get a drink - it was so hot! I love those sweet big eyes!

When we were ready to go Kennedy was so sweet (and cracked us up) by waving good-bye to the playground and saying "bye." What a little honey bear! lol:)
