Incline Railroad


The last thing we visited was the Incline Railroad. It used to be the fastest way to get up and down the mountain.It goes up the train track at a 72 degree angle. Mom didn't like it at all, but everyone else had lots of fun!!!

See Rock City






Well, we saw Rock City. We also saw seven states and a bunch of rock formations. We went through a trail called Needle's Eye, and we had to turn sideways just to fit through.
We had alot of fun!!!

Ruby Falls












While we were on vacation we went to Ruby Falls. Ruby Falls is a cavern with a waterfall in it. There were lots of cool formations. I think Fletcher's favorite was the bacon formation,which, of course, looked like a giant piece of bacon. When we were through with our tour, we ate lunch and went to the gem mine.

Pitstop at the Ocoee River




We stopped at the Ocoee River for a break.

Fun in Chattanooga







Last week my family and I went to Chattanooga,Tennessee. While we were there we went to an amusement park. Heather liked all the rides except The Frog Hopper. It would bounce up and down like a frog, and Heather didn't like that at all. But she loved the lady bugs, Dumbo and the cars. I rode a ride called the Genie that would spin around really fast and then turn sideways while it was still spinning. Fletcher, my dad and I rode a roller coaster that was really fun. We all had a great time!!!

First Soccer Game of the Season




Today at 2:00 I had a soccer game. My coach put me in at right forward.I had to run up and down the field alot. Ryan passed the ball up to me right beside the goal. I ran as fast as I could to get to the ball . But when I went to kick the ball I barely hit it with my left foot and it rolled out to far. I was mad because I wanted to score so bad and that touch messed up my shot.


At half time the score was 3-0 and we were winning. Then the other team got a PK and scored.


After the PK they scored again. But in the end we ended up winning the game 3-2.
