A trip to Maryville

It's been a while since I've posted, so I'll try to catch up. We took a trip to Maryville, TN, the first weekend in October to see Todd's family. We celebrated his birthday and his mom's birthday while we were there. His parents have a wonderful backyard. It is big and wooded and lots of fun so we usually spend a lot of time out there when we go to visit.

There is a swing in a huge tree in their back yard. It's a bit high off the ground, but Bekah and Ty loved it (I enjoyed it also!!) ...they weren't scared at all. Brandon was another story......he swung when we coerced him but he only tolerated it. He was definitley a bit scared of swinging so high off the ground. Just to give you an idea of how high it is....when Bekah would swing out Todd couldn't reach up and touch her....so probably over 10 feet high.

We enjoyed roasting marshmallows over the campfire in the back yard also. As you can see Ty ate just a few! The black stuff if the charred black part of the marshmallow. Yum, Yum!! Todd's dad had just purchased this 4-wheeler when we arrived. Everyone enjoyed riding around on it. Ty had been a bit hesitant to ride it, but when Uncle Trey took him for a ride he was loving it!!
