The girls have a week off for fall break, so we decided to tag along with Steve on a work trip to Knoxville! Olivia was so excited to stay at the hotel she talked about it nonstop for days before!When we first walked into the hotel room, Liv exclaimed, "They have a tub for us to talk a bath in Mom!!", she then proceeded to run to the ice bucket saying it was a tea set, the beds had pillows...etc!! I am not sure what she thought we were staying at but its safe to say she was very happy! After Steve did some work, we headed out to a little market square where they have a couple very cute restaurants, water fountains, and other neat little shops in the square. We had a great dinner and headed back to the hotel afterwards. When we woke up we decided to do a half day at the Knoxville Zoo which was great.Both girls have been fighting colds so we weren't sure how they would do, and after a few hours we had 2 kids having meltdowns! We had a great time at the zoo, I took my first camel ride, Maddie got to practice all of her animal sounds and identify animals, and Liv got to see her reptiles and snakes that her and Steve love!
