Chattanooga Corn Maze!!

Chattanooga - Part 3

Right after visiting Rock City (see last post), we traveled down the mountain to visit the Chattanooga Corn Maze. It had a very festive-"Fall-y" entrance!!

 Love the "See Rock City" barn!!

 Nora attempted to fix a scarecrow's head....

 Josh pointing to Rock City. "We were just there!!"

 My kinda place.....

 The girls had a lot of fun in the pumpkin patch playground:

 We also played a little cornhole....Josh actually ringed it right here!! (He could probably never do that again!) 

 The girls also had fun on the obstacle course....

 The gift shop had some groovy stuff.... 

 ....like SCORPION SUCKERS!!!

 The petting farm was the favorite of the day....

 The girls enjoyed the bunnies the best!! 

 ....they enjoyed ALL of the animals!! 

 Twinsies!!!

 My kinda pig....

 The animals were so very sweet....that was highlight of the day!! 

 Next up was the hayride!!

 We had tickets to walk through the corn maze, but after the hayride gave us a "preview" of how big it was, we reconsidered. I would probably still be lost in there somewhere.....

 The hayride was Clairy's favorite!! 

 I wish I had a picture of her face....she was smiling ear to ear!! :)

So, while the corn maze was beautiful to look at......

....I have accepted the fact that this is about all the "corn maze" I can handle!!

Cheers to Fall Fun!!!

Rock City!!

Chattanooga - PART 2

Our second adventure in Chattanooga was Rock City (this is our FAVORITE). We couldn't find the "real" gnome this time, but we had a photo-op with the cardboard gnome (yes, I'm wearing my retainer.....don't be jealous). :)

Rock City offers something new every season, and this time, they were all decked-out for fall. So pretty!!

Getting ready to enter the "city:"

I kept talking about the beautiful views.....

So, Josh gave me a "view" of his own.... :)

The girls love all the little rock trails....

Checking out the gnome village:

The mushroom rock:

The birdcage:

Fun on the trails:

October is breast-cancer awareness month!!!

We decided AGAINST the swinging bridge this time.....we took the nice, sturdy-rock bridge across the mountains this time :)

Can you see the farm wayyyyyyyyy down there??? That's our next stop (stay tuned...)

Ella feels a little "too high up"....:)

....but she got over to watch the waterfall. 

Me and my big girls (still in my retainer....smokin' HOT!)

Daddy and his little-est girl....along with the 7 flags of the 7 states that you can see from the mountain.

Though we didn't find the gnome, we did find this groovy troll.....

My goofies in the birdhouse....

Entering the "fat man's squeeze:"

Checking out the albino deer:

Rainbow room!!!

Such beautiful views from the mountain....

As we entered the Fairyland Caverns (the girls' FAVORITE part of Rock City)....

Clairy started to get a little tired....

But, she perked up a little when we entered. I can never get enough of the "glowing" Fairyland or hear the girls' excitement as they travel around to look at each one. The pictures really don't do it justice....

I'll leave you with my favorite little nursery rhyme that my Grandmama ("Mammie") and my mama use to sing to me all the time (I still catch Mama singing it to my girls from time-to-time....it describes them PERFECTLY!!)

Cheers to gnomes and stones!!!

See Rock City!!!
