Nashville Tennessee

GOL3

I had to go Nashville Tennessee for a software conference this week.  It was held at the Gaylord Opryland Resort.  It is the largest non-casino hotel in the world and the largest hotel in the United States outside Las Vegas.  It has 2,881 rooms with four open indoor garden area's that are bigger than football fields.

Tuesday Night I was able to go the Live Grand Ole Opry performance.  It is a two hour that is broadcast on a nation wide radio station WSM.  Each performer gets about 15mins, which is about 3 songs.  It was a mix of older performers that have been around for 50 years and some of the new talent.  Here is the lineup (Jeannie Seely, Emily West, Jimmy Newman, The Infamous Stringdusters, Jean Shepard, Craig Morgan, John Conlee, and Dierks Bentley).  It was a great time.

Water Watchers Field Trip

Most adults probably look back at grade school field trips with fond memories.  I love having the opportunity to share those memories and experiences with them, it's one of the joys of motherhood! Our first stop was a picnic lunch on the MCC campus!

Water safety day included making a framed hand print with a promise to follow the ABC's of water safety.

These girls were listening very intently to the firemen's instructions after  climbing through the fire truck!
