Last Saturday my family and I went to Cades Cove. It was amazing! Our friends church goes to Cades Cove evey year and has a church service in one of the churches there. First we just played around in and near the creek. Now it was too cold to actually get in the water, but out of the kids in our family 75% of them fell in meaning three of the kids in our family fell in the water and one of those kids was me (just so you know I was the first one to fall in). It was forty degrees outside. Now if that didn't make you feel bad for me this will. I had to walk around in a tank-top. Thankfully they had fires so I could heat up.
The church was what I was really calling amazing. This church was 140 years old and you could still see handprints in the ceiling from where the men had put there hands. There handprints showed because not all the wood was dry yet. I also learned some thing rather interesting. Is what happened is there was a fight. One side of the fight was on one side of the church and the other on the other side. There was a constable there and all of a sudden the foundation of the church shifted and a crack went down right in between the two sides of the arguement. The preacher said they settled that arguement pretty quick and I'm sure they did.

Baltimore
Several weeks ago I went to Baltimore, just my Dad and me. He wanted to talk to me about growing up. Well that's not the topic of this blog. Baltimore was awesome.
The only bad thing about it was that I had a broken finger. Yes Moms, football can get pretty rough. I had two fingers taped together. I know right now some of you are thinking "Boo Orioles." Well F.Y.I, they played the Red Sox and whooped them 11-5 Orioles.
As you can tell by the pictures I really like hats. "I want you to join the U.S. army." "Ready to bat Crabby?"
One activity we did before the game was board a Civil War ship called the Constellation. It wasn't very pretty seeing the food they had to eat and the tools the surgeon would have used to amputate and other things you may not want to know. Even though it may not have been so fun to eat the food and go get a check-up it would have been fun to sleep in a hammock during the night and feel the ship sway back and forth. Another rather interesting place was the captains quarters. Only the captain and other special people on the ship had their own bathroom. The others just went wherever they felt like it. No not really. Really all the captain had was a toilet, a bathtub, a bed, and a desk. Put this next on your "Must do before I die" list. Go, to, Baltimore!
