It's a Family Vacation!

 We went on our first ever family of four vacation this summer. We have been on trips before together, but never just the four of us! We left the cabin on a Friday morning without a real plan. We knew we were going to Chattanooga to do a couple of fun things there and the possibly of going more east in Tennessee. 

We took our time driving down. It was nice to not be in any hurry. The first thing we did was visit the River walk near the aquarium to let the kids play while Dad found us a hotel room. 

The kids were funny... They were like we get in the water but we can't get totally wet!? 

We got checked into a hotel room and rested some. Then we walked around downtown and went to eat at Big River. It was really good!

We took a horse carriage ride back to the hotel. A first for everybody!

Lastly we took the kids down to the indoor pool for a fun night swim.

This was also the kids first time to ever spend the night in a hotel!

Summer Fun!

We had such a fun summer! It was filled with days out on the boat at the river or at the pool in town. 

It was also filled with tons of fun memories with sweet friends!

Life long friends from Memphis joined us in the river fun!

We loved hanging out with Baby Sam and Allison! Allie Ruth could not get enough of Sam and enjoyed playing little mama!

How could you blame her? He is so cute!

Lucy still loves the boat and the water! 

Thankfully, the kayak is still a huge hit!

I am so thankful for this time to spend with Allie Ruth and Landon! It was a great summer!

Canoe Trip

We have wanted to go canoeing on the Buffalo river for a while. Its so close to our cabin. But we have had to wait until the kids were old enough. 

The river was beautiful! 

Just about to get started...

Allie Ruth was a little concerned at first. She was worried we were going to tip over. Dad got her calmed down and we didn't even tip once!

Landon brought his net and next time is bring his pole!

The water felt so good!

We had so much fun! This was one of our best family adventures!

Merry month of May!

May is always such a busy month! 

Landon started looking more like a real baseball player with all the new gear his Dad took him to get. Too bad so many of his games got rained out this season.

We had a great Mother's Day!

We loved sharing eggs with the neighbor and loved picking strawberries in his garden!

We have loved getting the summer kicked off with weekends at the River!

We wrapped up the end of a great school year. Landon had an awesome 1st grade year and we are so proud of how well he did. We have several changes to look forward to, but for now we are saying 

"HELLO SUMMER VACATION!!"

It's time to...

PLAY BALL!!

Landon is playing coach pitch ball this year. He is playing for the same church team as last year. We are very excited for him and love to watch him play. Allie Ruth loves the playground, popcorn, and snow cones!

This year, his team named themselves the COBRAS!

We have had some fun making up cheers for the cobras!

Landon got two base hits and had a great stop on a ground ball!

Great game Cobras! The score was 10 to 6!

Go #12 Go!
