I'm All Shook Up

What a day today was! We had a great day at Graceland and spent just over 5 hours touring the mansion, airplanes, cars, jumpsuits and even his military service museum. Jack was a little worn out before we even got there but overall he was great and had a good time. Dayton is the biggest little Elvis fan I've ever met and wore his jailhouse rock outfit for the day. He was so excited to be there and even got emotional at the grave. It was very sweet. I think it's great that someone so young is so into someone like Elvis. Most 5 year olds don't even know who Elvis is. Of course, thanks to Dayton, Jack now knows who Elvis is so we'll continue on the love of all things Elvis.

Here's Dixie with all the kiddos watching Pinocchio last night.

The boys ate supper in their tent. Jack has really had a great time with these boys.

Here is Elvis' living room with the nice stained glass peacocks. Dixie and I got some great remodeling ideas today.

Dacie is learning all about the king of rock & roll.

Elvis had to have 3 tvs when he found out LBJ had 3 sets to keep up with all the major networks.

"There's a pretty little thing, waiting for the king, down in the jungle room." The chair in the corner with the teddy bear was one of Lisa Marie's favorites.

Jack is happier at Graceland when he is outside.

See, Kent is on this trip. I love these people.

Me & Jack enjoying the tour.

Jack & Elvis.

Now you've gotta know there is something special about Jack & Dacie's relationship. It needs work. Jack wants what Dacie has, Dacie wants what Jack has and doesn't want him to touch her or be close. She says, "NO!" He says, "YES!" Somehow, they are like oil & water, but somehow it is cute and funny to watch them interact.

Here she is trying to push Jack away from the railing. Dixie kept trying to tell Dacie that Jack is her friend and she needs to be nice to her friends (granted, Jack wasn't all that nice either). Later in the evening Jack was actually trying to play with her or hand her something and she said, "NO!" and Jack said, "Dacie, I am your fwiend!"

Here is Dayton's swingin' Elvis moves.

Pretend Dacie is sitting in between Jack & Daxtyn.

Jack really liked this car and actually wanted to pose in front of it.

About 2 minutes after we got in the car from leaving Graceland.

"Awww, Schnucks." I think this is a grocery store.

After Graceland we went to Ben & Jerry's for ice cream. It hit the spot as you can see!

Jack would have been happy with just the cone but did enjoy some chocolate ice cream, too.

This girl loves her ice cream!

Don't they look so much alike?

The best picture of all 4 kids in their cool Elvis shirts. Like Daxtyn says, "Oh well!" We had a great time and it's sad it all has to end but we've already started planning our next trip together... skiing!! We're not sure when but we can at least start to talk about it! Dixie took a lot of great pictures too and she wants me to do her blog post since her computer is slow so I'll try to get some more up once I get back home. Until then... "Thank you, Thank you very much."
