On SUNDAY we attended church with my sister. What's awesome about this church of about 100+, is that it was started out of Michael W. Smith's home about 10 years ago. He was also the pastor until a few years ago, but still attends. Now, they are in a school gym-but that doesn't matter! You could definitely feel God moving amongst the congregation. My sister didn't get my hopes up that MWS would be there and i didn't see him...at first. UNTIL i was headed out the doors and i noticed he had slipped in quietly in the back. Ava really wanted to meet him, so my goal was to make it back there after picking her up from Sunday School so she could say hi, BUT he was gone. So sad. That would be have been really fun to get a picture with him! Oh well, at least i can say he actually made eye contact with me ;o)
After church we headed back to my sister's apartment for lunch...PB & J style...
THEN we headed out into the 100 degree (yikes!) heat to see one of the many plantations in TN. I won't even pretend i know history, so the short version is is that there was a fight between North and South, the North won (this was the beginning of abolishing slavery), and this is where it all took place-right beside the huge mansion below (which became the hospital for the wounded)...BUT first a couple of poses...
It was so sweet to watch Ava read the tombstones...i wonder what was going through her head...
The slaves' quarters...
A very cute sister moment. Marin was VERY protective of a tombstone of a 3 month old baby because there was a lamb on the top. She said it was hers and she wasn't leaving. She cracks me up.
