Welcome to the Zoo

I decided to jump on the 'cool' bandwagon and start a blog. It also seems like a great way to keep our dearly missed friends in Ohio updated about our new life in Tennessee. Since moving to Cleveland, we have spent our weekends enjoying this beautiful area in Southeast Tennessee. We took Ethan and Tyler to the Ocoee River. This is where the 1996 Olympics were held for White Water Rafting. We spent the day swimming in the "Blue Hole" and hiking in the woods. Ethan was worried about the bears, but Tyler was fearless.




We went to see the Atlanta Braves play this summer. Ethan played baseball on the minifield they have in Tooner Field. The Braves lost that night, but we didn't care because we had to leave early because Tyler can't sit still for more than 5 innings. Chris is planning on returning next year without the kids.

Our favorite spot is the Downtown Riverfront in Chattanooga. There is a beautiful Riverwalk with swimming areas for the kids. There is a spray park and a mile long walking bridge that crosses the Tennessee River. Ethan loves to visit the Tennessee Aquarium and pet the sting rays. Tyler likes to stand and yell at the sharks.
