Tennessee Pictures

Here are those pictures I promised. We didn't get a good picture of our whole family, but we did get some pics from the hike.

Me and Liz.



Liz and Heath (Heath is my dad's first cousin)





We hiked all the way down to the base of this waterfall.





Landon spotted a fish in the water. He decided to try and catch it with his bare hands. He used his fingers as bait to lure the fish towards him. Not such a great idea. That little fish was feisty and bit Landon on the finger.

Heath couldn't resist. He was soon helping Landon. Heath asked Mom to take this picture of his fingers while he still had them.

Home Sweet Home

We got back from our trip to Tennessee last night. We were there for a family reunion on my dad's mother's side of the family. It was so good to see our relatives. Most of them hadn't even met Becca, Laura, or Ashleigh.

The reunion was held at a resort/national park/campground type place called Fall Creek Falls. Our family stayed at a hotel that was in the park. We had lots of fun hiking to the waterfalls, swimming, and spending time together as a family.

After the twelve hour drive, our family rejoiced at the sight of different familiar landmarks. Daddy's fire station. The little white church that never changes the message on their sign. The horse farm. It's funny how comforting it is to see those buildings after a long drive back home. I wouldn't trade those little places for all the mountains, rivers, and waterfalls in the world!

Well, I've got to go help Mom catch up on the laundry. I'll post pictures later. I hope everyone has great week!
