APPLE AND PEACH PICKING

We got up early and went apple and peach picking with my family, Brody was really excited because those are his two favorite fruits. It took all he had not to take a bite out of every peach and apple. He also really enjoyed be pulled around the orchard in the wagon.

He was a natural at this!!

He kept telling us which ones were "yucky"


He eventually caved and started eating one, he ate the whole thing!








Nana and Papa helped him get the good the ones on the top of the tree

On our drive back home we decided to stop in Gatlinburg, TN. While we were in town we went to the Ripleys Aquarium, museum, mirror maze and illusion museum. However we could only take pictures in the aquarium and ripleys museum.


This was as you enter the aquarium, Brody was already excited and he didn't even now there was more to come.

This is part of the underwater tunnel that you walk through, it goes right through the shark tank, needless to say it was a little bit scary. This is a picture of a saw fish, there were a ton of these just laying on the ceiling above us.








we tried to get a picture of brody in the diving suit but he just wanted to climb all over it.





These were really neat exibits, they were fish tanks that you had to crawl into and look at the fish from the middle, Brody loved it!!



This was not as easy as it looks, I don't think those tunnels were not meant for adults.




Brody found NEMO!!!








He was really excited to see the penquins. The penquin exibit had tunnels but those pictures did not come out as good.


The penquin looked like he needed a hug.



Adam thought he would take a walk in forrest gumps shoes...










At the ripleys believe it not museum there was a moving floor, Brody was fascinated by this, he kept moving the leaves around.



I know brody is small but come on!!!
