Another Trip to Cloudland Canyon

For fall break this year we again went camping, or at least we tried too.  The weather just did not cooperate!  We ventured out to Cloudland Canyon again with the Wilson family, who were first-time campers.  The first day was fabulous.  Happy kids, great weather, nice campfire, etc.  Then the rain came the first night and DID NOT STOP.  We tried to keep a happy attitude and went to Chattanooga for the day to try and wait it out but the rain continued and we all decided to just call it quits and come home.  Hoping to try this again with this sweet family soon! 

Zoo Day

 I'm playing catch up once again with all the pictures!  Life is so busy and crazy with 3 little ones!  We went to the zoo a while back and here are some pictures from that adventure.  Grandma came with us too.  Did I mention they have been living here with us??  They were finally able to sell their home in Lake Wales and make the big move up here.  We have had them set up in our basement until they are able to get a place of their own.

Back to School

My sweet little girls started back to school yesterday.  Hannah is in 2nd grade this year and Reagan started kindergarten!  I really struggled with sending them off to school this year but now it is just me and Ben all day with lots of time to play!  

A little bit more summer....

Summer Vacation!

We ended our summer with a little vacation to Florida!  First we visited my parents in Orlando, spent a morning at the beach and then hung out at their pool with the family.  Next stop was the Gaylord Palms Resort in Orlando where we met up with Andrew, Jackie, Presley, Dylan and Grandma and Papa.  We had a great time at the water park and the cousins had SO much fun together!  The last leg of our trip was supposed to be a couple days in Clearwater, but when we arrived we realized the little ones had too much vacation and were ready to go home, so we called it quits early and spent a couple quiet days at home before Sam had to go back to work.  Nice relaxing way to end the summer!
