October

With the unseasonably warm temperatures at the start of October, we spent five days at the cabin for fall break...and it was perfection!

When drove down late Tuesday night, and after being at school all day, little just couldn't make it.

Tubing on a Wednesday in October was ideal- we had the lake to ourselves!

The lake dropped to winter pool early this season with the drought and we saw parts of the lake we've never seem before. 

Surfing as the sun goes down

We ran to Conley Bottom on Thursday to see how they are restoring the marina after the fire and just had to get an ice cream.

We had the lake to ourselves on the way back so we got in quite a few surf runs. 

Friday we decided to visit Cumberland Falls. It was about a 45 minute drive from the cabin, but worth it!

On the way back from the Falls, we stopped at The Goodie Shack in Burnside to introduce the boys to our favorite treat- an upside down banana split

and then decided to have lunch at Lees Ford Marina.

Saturday was another perfect lake day!

This is my I'm so happy to be on the lake in October face.

The boys spent a good hour walking around and exploring this island. The landscape is just so crazy with the water level so low! Can you spot the boys?

That night we went into Russel Springs for a concert.

It was pretty cool to see Thompson Square this close!

The rain came Sunday so we decided to visit Mammoth Cave on the way home.

And, since Luke loves rocks and minerals, we stopped for some gem mining too.

Creed was sweet and took me to see Thomas Rhett at the Yum Center.

Boys...Luke and his friend Porter had an afternoon play date.

The boys got Uncle Matt and Uncle Drew's old shorty wet suits, which meant they were able to tube mid-October.

Luke and Creed caught some minnows in the creek with a cast net and then took the rubber boat out fishing one afternoon.

Last surf runs of the season...

Luke loves comics and while Caleb had his piano lesson, we went to a comics store so he could pick out another one.

Middle school spirit week...Albert Einstein on Time Travel Tuesday

and a VSCO girl on Squad Day.
 (There were 5 other 6th grade boys with scrunchies up their arms that day!)

Happy Halloween!
A T-Rex and a Fortnite skin.

While they were only out about an hour, they still managed to score a serious amount of candy.
