This year Chris and I are not taking the kids on a summer vacation trip. Therefore, I wanted to have my nephew Hayden over for a week. We were hoping to get Chris off from work too, but that wasn't possible due to needing to still hire another vet for the group. However, Chris did take Hayden and Addie frog giggin' one night, we caught lightning bugs in a Mason jar one night, and they "camped" out in a tent in the backyard one night. Sherri, Michael, and Hayden came down on Sunday before Memorial day to bring Hayden to us and they got to see the house for the first time and left on Monday. Mom, Natalie, Justin and Easton came too and we ate very well on Sunday afternoon. Monday we took it easy at home, Tuesday I took the kids to the Nashville zoo. Hayden said, "it is so hot I am going to die. When can we leave?" Of course I gave the Houston Naron answer, "I am older than you and I am not about to die and we paid to get in and we will see everything before we leave." Ha ha! I think they had a good time. Wednesday we went to the public pool in Clarksville and got a little red : )))). Thursday I took Hayden and Addie to the Hopkinsville water park while Nanny kept Claire for us. Addie fell asleep while we were there. It was a lot of fun. Hayden and I went down the slide together on the double float. Friday we met Nana and Nat and Easton at the Adventure Science Center in Nashville and H went to stay with Nana until Saturday. I really enjoyed having the little booger here and have missed him not being with us.

The kids loved the ambulance the best!
Hayden and Addie got Chris to put up the tent. Hayden stayed in it for about an hour came in and said it was too hot and the ground was too hard to sleep on! He said that his mom gave him a brain to think with and be smart about things and that just wasn't smart. LOL! Chris was burning up and had to work the next day at 5am so when Addie fell asleep he took her to her bed at 11pm. She was not very happy the next morning when she woke up in her bed and not in the tent!
Claire had a big time in the kids playground area
The two girls wanted these safari hats to which I had to say yes because they looked so cute in them!
I think their favorite part was feeding the birds! Claire loved them too but they wouldn't come to her and she was getting mad!
