June

Bring on the SUMMER FUN!

The boys have settled into a nice summer routine...At home they sleep late, play a little Fortnite, then take bike rides to their great-grandparents house, eat again, and then they play outside until dark. It's simple and it's perfect. They also spend around four or five days a week at the cabin and the lake. Sounds like an ideal summer. :)

Full Moon

On Flag Day, this kid TURNED TWELVE.

Birthday ride on the Deep Impact

Striper fishing at State Dock

Billy, the goat that lives near Difficulty Creek on Cumberland, has become famous. To meet him, you simply show up near his shoreline, shake a bag of chips, and he will come down to eat right from your hands. The boys rode out with Uncle Mark and Aunt Cathy and loved feeding him.

Ice Cream from Marina Rowena

We made a long run on a Thursday to the back of Beaver Creek to find this incredible water fall. It was simply breathtaking.

The last week of June the boys and I headed to High Point, North Carolina to see PeePaw and Grandma Beth's new house. They were super pumped to get lots of Hallie Girl love.

May

6th grade online learning from the cabin...

The first Saturday of May... with Derby postponed to September, we were ready for some fun on the lake. We were cracking up that Caleb was tubing without a wetsuit while Luke wore a full body one in the boat! 

The boys explored an island and then realized they were surrounded by geese protecting their nests.

May 2020 church looked like this...

Back at the waterfall the next day...the water was so much warmer back in this creek that the boys didn't mind it.

Monday morning school work

We social distanced during dinner with friends and their new puppy. 

Luke's sweet teacher surprised him with a last day of school bucket of goodies. He had a fantastic 3rd grade year, thanks to Mrs.Chrisman.

And just like that, he submitted his last assignment in Google Classroom and turned into a 7th grader!

School's Out For Summer!!!!

Guess who got up on the surf board?!!! Go Lukey Babe! He was so proud of himself!

Luke also has become VERY interested in snakes and tries to find some each time we are at the cabin. He watches Youtube videos and is learning all that he can about them.

Caleb flew his drone down to Grandmom and she sent it back with a bag full of goodies.

One of our friends got a new boat and we went out on an evening dam run to celebrate.

The last weekend of May PeePaw and Uncle Matt came to town and the boys stayed with them while Creed and I went to the lake. Grandma Beth sent Luke thousands of baseball cards she found when cleaning out her basement.

Creed and I had lunch at Marina Rowena, the new marina on the Cumberland, and enjoyed our meal with an incredible view!
