We wanted to get together to visit with the Peppers family one last time while we were both families of 3....because we know things are going to be crazy for awhile when we both grow to families of 4 soon!
Samuel and Milla on Samuel's 4 wheeler. They are buddies!! Samuel is adorable...lovable, grinning, kind hearted, and strawberry blond!
There is a restored, over 100 year old antique carousel downtown Chattanooga that we got to check out. It was a dream of one of Lana's high school art teachers to refurbish a carousel...and that is just what he did. He was a master woodworker and held classes and instructed others in a studio in town as they created all the beautiful animals for the carousel. People came from all over to be part of the creation! 
Ben, Lana and Samuel
Just outside of the carousel is an area full of water fountains--it kind of reminds you of the area at Centennial Park in Atlanta. With the temperatures in the high 90's it was the place to be!
After the fountains we cooled down with some Hawaiian shaved ice. Yum! I love that stuff! Milla helped me eat mine...half peach/half watermelon! We felt like Chattanooga had such reasonable prices... it was just $1 to ride the carousel, the fountains were free, and the shaved ice was $1.50... so, for less than $5 we had a wonderful afternoon!
got to spend the morning on Chickamauga Lake...rode on the boat, swam, and had a picnic. Milla and Samuel did great...made it back in the car just as it was nap time--they were both out before we made it out of the parking lot!
Joyful little ones!It made us so happy just to watch them!
We had a wonderful visit!
