Beauty and the Beast, Cleveland


We've been busy busy these last few weeks! On June 16, Mom came down and Avery, Dave, Mom, and I had a date downtown Nashville for the broadway performance of Beauty and the Beast at TPAC. Here we are before heading out:

Avery did great- though I realize she was a bit young to take to a 2.5 hour show. =) She loved the dance numbers, the music, and the costumes. She is on a major Belle/Disney Princess kick right now so the timing worked out great. She was a little scared of the Beast's super loud roar, but she was a trooper. We all had a great time! Lucy even behaved for the babysitter, her first official one. She took the bottle like we've been practicing, whoo hoo!

The next day we headed out to Cleveland/Chattanooga, TN for Dave to do the Chattanooga Mountains Stage Race on Lookout/Raccoon/Signal Mountains. Dave's Dad and StepMom live in Cleveland so we stayed there so the girls could get their Gigi and Papa fix while Dave drove in to do his races each day. Here are some pics from Dave's race- he did a great job!

While Dave was racing, one day Carla, the girls, and I went down to the aquarium. Dave had my camera at the race, but here is a pic of them afterwards with their cute pink penguin. 



Over the weekend we let Dave stay in his own room to get a good night's sleep before each race, and Avery, Lucy, and I slept in the room together. Here is a pic one night before I moved Lucy over to the pack-n-play, I couldn't resist sneaking a picture- Allie, Avery's baby is joining them.



Here are some pics of Carla, Scott, and Avery having a golf lesson =)




The other day we were there, I found out that my roommate from all 4 years at Baylor was also in Chattanooga! Brantley Johnson and I haven't kept in touch very well, so it was SO nice to see her and catch up. Here is a picture of us!
