Weekend Shenanigans with the Fam



Preston, Zara and I went for a tour of the Belmont Mansion. Zara and I only caught half of the tour due to excessive chatter on Zara's end but Preston said the rest was really neat. It is amazing how much stuff they can restore and how much they know about people from their journals. The whole house was basically run by a woman around the Civil War era who was married 3 times and lost 6 of her 10 children before they could reach adulthood. 


Kasey and Collin came over from Knoxville! It was so fun to have them visit while Preston was here. We ventured over to Cheekwood to see the amazing light exhibit that they have going on right now. It was really incredible, and they had live music playing throughout the garden which made for a special evening.  




Kasey and Collin always introduce us to new apps and things on the iPad. Last time it was boggle, this time they showed Zara an Elmo app and she was pretty much mesmerized.  She's really into grabbing this and holding them herself.






We Skyped with Sarah and Isaac, siblings unite! Zara was showing off her latest moves in the swing.


We had burgers, tots and homemade sodas at The Pharmacy in east Nashville. Yum! The wait was long but we had fun hanging out outside and catching up.





Zara has discovered her toes, she likes to grab them and they usually end up getting all slobbery.

How fun to have some of your siblings there! What's the name of that Elmo app she loves so much?
