Tennesee--Carolina Vaca Chronicles Part 7: Pool Day!

sunshine and pool time!

Today was a our first full pool day!!! We had a lot of clouds and some rain this week. Part of the goal for this trip was to see the Carolinas for potential areas to live--but today we stayed put and hit the pool (and I finally got a nice base tan:). All in all we spent about 6 hours in the pool, and had it completely to ourselves!!!

After showers, the girls headed over to the park, where they met two new friends. One of them is a future entomologist, who helped my formerly squeamish girls move past their fear of bugs (for one day anyway). She gave my angel a bug collecting container and they were off to collect fireflies (no worries, no insects were harmed, let alone caught in their little adventure:).

After dinner and yet another ice cream cone, we built a campfire and were once again serenaded with the symphony of screeching frogs--it really was very pretty and soothing to listen to--I'd like to bottle that sound:)

Wildlife Report:
A mama and her baby ducks wandered around our campsite looking for hand outs.

My 3 y/o Fairy Girl found another frog.

The crane made her visit to the dock again ("sitting on the dock of the bay, watching the clouds float away"...:)

They didn't catch any bugs? Sigh. Must be girls. :)
