Nashville

We went to Nashville with dan, Sarah, Annie and Leah.It was so fun! It was fun seeing Annie and Leah. They were cute. At first Leah was shy and then she started getting used to us. We played with them a lot. These are the things we did...

MAMMOTH CAVES

Mamoth Caves was fun! It was big and beautiful. There were lots of cracks. And we saw a few spiders. They were huge. Once the Mammoth cave tour guy turned off the lights and I couldn't see the outline of my hand. It was so dark.




DOWNTOWN NASHVILLE HOTEL

The hotel was awesome. One hotel rom had two queen sized beds. That was our room. The other room had 1 king sized bed for Dan and Sarah. Anndie and Leah slept in the room with Dan and sarah of course. The elevator was fast, scary and FUN. I always got excited whe we were about to go on the elevator. It made me have butterflies in my stomach. It was so cool. We went to the pool in the hotel. The pool water almost tasted like salt water. (I didn't taste it on purpose.) The pool was 8 feet deep in the deep end.

THE PARTHENON

The parthenon was so pretty and big. There was a lake right across the street from it. We took a lot of pictures.

DOWNTOWN NASHVILLE

Downtown Nashville we walked past lots of stores. Lots of the buildings had people singing in it. There was a hat store that we went in and tried on a buch of cowboy hats.

THE FOURTH OF JULY

On the fourth of July in the morning we all got red white and blue clothes on and went downtown Nashville and played on lots of blow up toys. We got free ice cream and there were lots of lemonade stands and stuff around us. Then we started looking for a place to watch the fireworks. It took a long time. When we finally found a place to go we got all the chairs set and started playing until it started raining. We didn't want to get wet so we went beside a building. Then it started pouring really hard and we got soaked even though we were close to the building. Then when the fireworks were over we ran to our hotel. It took about 10 mintues to get back. We were all soaked and all the little kids were crying the whole time... but all the adults and Ryan and I were laughing the whole time.

FIREWORKS

The fireworks were awesome. There were so many different colors. At first the fireworks were to loud and the little kids got scared. They were crying so we went to a place that was farther away from the fireworks.

NASHVILLE TEMPLE

The Nashville temple was tiny and beautiful. It was right next to the church we went to. After church we gave the Walton hugs because we left on that day.
