Dates and Swimming



This morning I had a date with the kids to Panera! Three kids and an outing will never be boring!




Tonight the youth played a little ultimate Frisbee.

This week we have also been doing swimming lessons. Paityn can swim all by herself but she just won't do it. She has to process everything and I know once she decides she can do it she will swim across the pool all by herself! She is so close!!

Lookout Mountain





This morning we headed out for some explorations.





Our first stop was the hike to Ruby Falls. I must say I'm a little claustrophobic and there were some tight spaces!




I was beautiful under all that stone though!








The Falls were pretty incredible.




















Next we stopped at the Incline Train. Although it was neat, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't do that again!




























The day outside was lots of fun!

Apparently you can see 7 states from this location!
















Fun, laughter, walking and more made the day so worthwhile.

Endless Summer




Today we headed out for Endless Summer. It's always such a fun little trip!


We started out the morning with a devotion and then the youth left for white water rafting.
I knew the kids couldn't go so we stayed at the hotel and swam.











While the kids were getting ready for quiet time, Beckett was playing with the phone. I didn't really think anything about it until I head pounding on the door and someone yelling "Are you okay?" Beckett had apparently dialed 911. Thankfully I made it to the door before they broke it down!


The youth came back and relaxed at the pool a little.


Then we headed out to the baseball game. Britton was pretty excited to catch a ball!






We were in the direct sun for awhile but the sunset was beautiful!
