Nashville is boring!!

After waking up in the parking lot of the Nashville KOA, we checked into our reserved, economy campsite, Z65. No electricity hookup, no water. A picnic table and some dirt. We got into a historic battle with the tent, and won! (girls 1, tent 0.)
We took advantage of the KOA's pool and laid outside like the layabouts that we are. But don't worry! We were wearing sunblock.
Then, after taking showers in the luxurious poolside public showers, we were off to the Grand Ole Opry House, which was a terrific-looking building but we couldn't go inside because there were no shows going on. Then we went to the Opry Mills, probably the most impressive mall we've seen so far. The floors were so shiny you could see yourself in the reflection. It has a stingray tank, two carousels, and a restaurant called the Aquarium, where you sit in between huge tanks of tropical fish, eating your.. well, fish, probably.
The Opry Mills also had a Rainforest Cafe, where the waitstaff wear khaki and refer to themselves as "safari guides." The animals come to life and there are thunderstorms inside! We decided to get fancy and ordered Shirley Temples and diet cokes instead of water.
Now, we're sitting around a campfire, writing postcards home to you all and roasting marshmallows. The fireflies are out.
Goodnight families!
Love,
Meghan, Caity, Molly, and Cait

PS: we would like to give a shout-out to Aslan

Hi Cait, Molly, Megan and Caity --
Thanks for the "shout out" - I guess that means you said HI! Grandma has to help me type this cause I can't write human yet! We are fine, but Middleboro is more boring than Nashville -- at least there are fishtanks to watch there - here I don't even get to watch my music videos cause Grandma turns the TV off when she goes to bed - you need to speak with her about that! The dog is still her -- Dan made her run with him yesterday - despite my hopes, she didn't collapse from the heat. She is now eating a pizza table -- dogs are dumb (DOD). Hope you are having fun on your trip - I can't wait for my first postcard from you -- Grandma said she's translate it for me ! I miss you !
Love,
Aslan
