The weather as we returned to Nashville was sunny but chilly. Our drive including filling up with diesel only took about 2 1/2 hours and we were pulled into our site and set up at KOA in Nashville by early afternoon. Normally, we stay at Nashville Jellystone but we didn't want to fight the traffic getting into the campground because of the Dancing Lights going on every night. Plus, we had a coupon we had received at the Hershey show for $25 off per night at KOA.
Music Valley KOA has improved a lot of their sites and the site we stayed on was extra long and level. If the price difference is not that great, we may stay at the KOA more frequently in the future because the sites are so much nicer than Jellystone's.
On Sunday afternoon, we drove over to my mom's to visit with her, get caught up on our laundry, and get warm by her fireplace. :)
Monday and Tuesday were busy days of running errands, getting groceries, getting my hair cut, and getting the brakes checked on the motorhome. Crystal, Grant, Avery and Hannah arrived at our camper late Tuesday night. We had the beds all ready and the girls went right back to sleep. We awoke Wednesday morning to the sound of two happy little girls.
After breakfast, we went over to GiGi's (my mom's). I made my layered salad for taking to Jerry and Pam's for Thanksgiving dinner and Avery helped Pa put up GiGi's Christmas lights.
The sunny weather was calling the girls to go outside and play so Crystal and I took them outside to run and play around the community gazebo.
Before we knew it, it was time for lunch!
While Hannah laid down for a nap after lunch, Avery decided to try on her mom's boots!
Before long, Avery got a little tired too and fell asleep in GiGi's arms for about a 30 minute nap. GiGi loved that! :)
After the girls got up from their naps, we drove over to the playground at Two Rivers Park where the girls enjoyed swinging, sliding and climbing all over everything. We went back to GiGi's for supper together and then Avery and Hannah crawled up in GiGi's lap to give her night-night lovins' before heading back to the camper to put the girls to bed.
The girls did very well sleeping in our camper. We would put them to bed back in our bedroom and then we would stay up and play cards and watch TV until we were ready to go to bed. Crystal and Grant were able to move them from our bedroom back to their beds in the living room and they stayed asleep or went back to sleep very well every night.
Loved all the posts from the Thanksgiving week. Food looked yummy, play was well done, Chuck's glasses made him look younger, looked seeing the Opry Hotel lite up...and family pictures were great. We sure have much to be thankful for. We are thankful we met your great family and all the time together.
