River Time... Big Fish, Lots of Turttles, and Endless Fun!

I cannot imagine living anywhere else because I cannot imagine raising three boys without having a river in our backyard!  When we are home in the summer, we go down every day.... many days ... twice a day!  Our entire weekends are spent floating, fishing, and swimming in the river or just hanging out by the river.  This year, the boy's favorite thing was to catch this river monsters called GAR!  They are creepy and they also caught some really big catfish!  After seeing all of these giants... I am not a big fan of swimming IN the river!  It was also the year of the turtle!   By the end of the summer, Nate and Zac could sneak up on these little creatures and catch them while they were sunning on a log or swimming underwater! Couldn't imagine spending my summers any other way than hanging out with my boys on the river!

Florida 2013: Fun in the Sun

Another fun-filled week on the sunny beaches of Florida!  There is no way to post all of the pictures that are taken or to fully put in to words all of the fun that is had while we are at the beach each year.  The boys look forward to this week all year long... and so do I!  It a wonderful week spent making memories, hanging out with family, and eating yummy food!  There is sandcastle building, wave surfing, snorkeling, shell gathering, crab catching, Frisbee tossing and sooooo much more!  I cherish this time with my sweet family making memories that will last a lifetime!

What a wonderful week we had!  I always love our time with Nana, Papa, Jen, Rich, Molly, Matt, Uncle Jim & Mar Mar!

Church Camp: Year #2 for Nate!

Nate and the FBC crew attended church camp again this year at Beech Springs!  It was another week full of food, fun and fellowship.... because that is what we Baptist like!  LOL!  There was lots of swimming, basketball playing, horseback riding, and zip lining!  Nate had a great time, and once again this was a highlight of his summer.  He is making memories that will last a lifetime and learning lessons that will last for eternity!  Next year it will be Zachy's turn to join in on all of the fun!
