Woo Hoo!
We got our swap package from Hilltop Academy!
What fun this is!
We're learning a lot about other states and really enjoying seeing the personalities shine through!

Disclaimer: 
My 18-yr old has a *ahem* slight addiction to all things chocolate.
So when you see the photo you may notice a partially eaten Moon Pie.
That is NOT the condition it arrived in.

Ok, moving on....

The 11-yr old made a cookbook with the state flag. Great job!
We''ll be trying some of the recipes (starting with the Candied Apples?)! LOL!
The 7-yr old gave us an overview of their football team. Another great job! I've only heard of the Vols....
(Those two are our favorites!)

There is a historical timeline which is a great idea!
A cute coloring book that covers the state symbols and facts.
Magazine articles from around the state.
Flashcards of their interesting famous folk with photos. (Toby Mac is our favorite!)
A Johnny Cash CD. And we love Johnny Cash!
Pamphlets on historical attractions. I'm currently reading "The Battle of Franklin".
And did I mention Moon Pies? Those are from Cracker Barrel which first opened in TN and the Moon Pies are still manufactured in TN.

Thank you so much Hilltop Academy for "swapping" with us!
We have thoroughly enjoyed your package!

Ha! I love the half-eaten Moonpie! Seems our children think alike.

Thanks, again!

Kellieann and her kids put together a neat package for your family! I haven't had a moon pie in ages. My grandmother always had them at her house (and RC Cola - you weren't allowed to have a moon pie without a RC Cola). :-)

I'm gonna head over and see what you sent to Kellieann! Did you daughter finish the moonpie the second you finished taking the picture???

I'm so sad, I haven't been able to come visiting much lately! I hope my life settles down soon. I wanna blog!!!

Have a great weekend...I'll be "conventioning" in St. Charles, IL tomorrow and Saturday.
