Uncle Dan

Uncle Dan Greenwood came to visit us this last weekend. He flew in on Wednesday night and left Sunday morning so we got to stay up a lot of night talking to him and seeing how he is doing. The kids were very excited and wanted his attention the whole time. Eli wanted him to always hold him, Aubrey wanted him to tickle and play with her and Jaxon was scared of him at first but then loved to be with hime too. (Jaxon gave the biggest pouty lip of his life when Uncle Dan made him stop lifting up the tablecloth. Hilarious!) Thursday Dan was supposed to drive up to Kentucky to work but ended up getting in an accident and dented the mustang he was driving but he was just fine (that's a relief). The roads have been really icy up in Kentucky. He ended coming back to do his work on our computer and was able to get it done. Also that day I took the kids shopping at Goodwill so we could get out of the house. Eli had one of his yelling fits and we got kicked out of goodwill. I knew it was going to happen sooner or later. I cried for a little bit but now I think it is a funny story.

Friday we went and checked out the Opryland Hotel. It is gorgeous with tons of gardens to walk through for free (free is the best part). Aubrey and I rode on the little boat and that was fun but not worth $9 but still fun. We then went to the Opry Mills mall and checked out the Aquarium restaurant. They let us check it out for free and it looked like a ton of fun. They had a ton of Fish and sharks and stingrays. Absolutely beautiful! We would love to go and eat there sometime. That night I got a babysitter and so James, Dan and I went out to eat and then went to check out the sites. We went to the Parthenon and it was beautiful all lit up and everything. Then we drove down broadway to listen to all the country singers trying to make it big.

Saturday we tried to get Josh and fam to come with us but they said they were too buys (how rude!).j/k We went up to Mammoth Caves and then went to Abraham Lincoln's birthplace. We want to go check out more of the caves later. We had a blast with Dan and hope he had a great time too. See, we know how to party so come and see us okay!?!
