The weather was still a little too cold for the beach and it had been almost a year since we had visited the mountains. It had been several years since Chris or I had been to Gatlinburg, so it seemed like it was a good time to visit. I went with my family as a kid or young teen and still have vague memories of visiting Ripley's Believe It or Not and Clingman's Dome.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">We originally planned to stay in a cabin between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg for three nights, but when Chris and I discussed the drive time from Montgomery to Gatlinburg, we realized that we wouldn't have much time to enjoy the area, so we decided to leave a day early. I booked a last-minute reservation at the Mountain Breeze Motel in Pigeon Forge for the first night, and we left a little after lunchtime.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">As we drove into Pigeon Forge that evening, Chloe and Evan were in awe! It wasn't the city I remembered, but as I explained earlier, the few memories I had of it were vague. The drive into Pigeon Forge down the Parkway can best be described as a drive down the strip of a Kiddie Vegas with its many attractions and bright lights. Although the kids would never admit it, they were beyond excited! After hours of driving, Chris was beyond tired and wanted to relax in our room. The kids begged for a night out on the town, but we checked into our room and decided to let the fun begin the following morning. The motel wasn't anything fancy, but they had freshly popped popcorn and homemade cookies, along with a heated outdoor pool. Surprisingly, the room was quiet despite being on the main strip. I would definitely recommend this place to someone who wasn't too concerned about amenities and was more concerned about value. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Day 1</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">The next morning, we went to the Apple Barn and Cider Mill for lunch, which was just a short drive from the motel. We visited the gift shop and picked up a couple of bottles of apple cider. My peach apple cider was delish!</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcsu8zlxE98RwM_4qNpmjNyd3JQVYCTTX6GcuNQ8oYxg-xk_jJbQW7JxWW9zVLToIsCBtF5L2cr5zTDGdIcsJJCZLanqzlTE7VRtKaqC8EQzbJsjFFBJi_3Kj2DyozI1kC0S6j1GQHi7s/s2048/20210324_102623.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcsu8zlxE98RwM_4qNpmjNyd3JQVYCTTX6GcuNQ8oYxg-xk_jJbQW7JxWW9zVLToIsCBtF5L2cr5zTDGdIcsJJCZLanqzlTE7VRtKaqC8EQzbJsjFFBJi_3Kj2DyozI1kC0S6j1GQHi7s/w640-h480/20210324_102623.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd2wOyAFyhDVs4bpQLZgkNffObKPQaauAdNfhQalw5LsQu7VXBN6WDOFdoIyFQ3oim3113LqRATdSOsyb3T2umEBKPNtoATYfdYVuLb54wTZRCbd2uvCfrkQYES921QQZ0roWAPMGPAI0/s2048/20210324_103009.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd2wOyAFyhDVs4bpQLZgkNffObKPQaauAdNfhQalw5LsQu7VXBN6WDOFdoIyFQ3oim3113LqRATdSOsyb3T2umEBKPNtoATYfdYVuLb54wTZRCbd2uvCfrkQYES921QQZ0roWAPMGPAI0/w480-h640/20210324_103009.jpg" width="480" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLPIu3ORy3KyypOaK47W4taOIYnrsowY3oVAcC8UzqJI4ZV2dgkPhw8PIvE0L03hyNhtb3eKp93RvSHpygsxYbCzzzpoGZumOVwmGb7yDcAu1Yaach1ajACN0A5VR0731NgR5jGi1Ko7U/s2048/20210324_103401.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLPIu3ORy3KyypOaK47W4taOIYnrsowY3oVAcC8UzqJI4ZV2dgkPhw8PIvE0L03hyNhtb3eKp93RvSHpygsxYbCzzzpoGZumOVwmGb7yDcAu1Yaach1ajACN0A5VR0731NgR5jGi1Ko7U/w480-h640/20210324_103401.jpg" width="480" /></span></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">It seemed like every restaurant in the area had its own complimentary starter.

We had a "might do" list. Nothing, with the exception of our knife making lessons at Iron Mountain Metal Craft that we had planned for our final full day of our trip. As a family, one of the shows we enjoy watching is Forged in Fire. Robby Bowman, A.K.A. the Smoky Mountain Cowboy, a contestant on one of the shows caught our attention. I googled his name to see if he had a shop in the area that we could visit. Chris and Evan both have knife collections, so I thought it might be a nice souvenir to add to their collections. Lo and behold, not only did he have a shop, but he also offered knife making lessons, so I scheduled bladesmithing lessons for Chris and the kids.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Chris had to be at work at 6:00pm that night, so we didn't have time for much. We would've gone back to Crockett's if we had enough time. Seriously, it was that good! Chris remembered the world's largest knife store from his last visit, so we did make time for one final pitstop there on the way home. Smoky Mountain Knife Works is a knife collectors dream store! The store was massive with a collection to match! The kids also liked the relics room.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQB9B5e12Fi27SklRQ_WPUJx9mPaGW0tsxFezxZMuGkjqMW_dhwlX8AaVZpbPD4orj2FaxaX5pHM_K6DAWEBkS7ZRWdbMPhAruFa3Qt0OsHwMVLbB8c12u0fy3KN_WdAhZxZQvtCyi0W4/s2048/20210327_115455.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1152" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQB9B5e12Fi27SklRQ_WPUJx9mPaGW0tsxFezxZMuGkjqMW_dhwlX8AaVZpbPD4orj2FaxaX5pHM_K6DAWEBkS7ZRWdbMPhAruFa3Qt0OsHwMVLbB8c12u0fy3KN_WdAhZxZQvtCyi0W4/w360-h640/20210327_115455.jpg" width="360" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWhx-gMpb_8jMciLPRsDNRYOjB-L1GwPBf49qul805z5fZJie0JGERE5V5MrMmLO_LUytxqs1PapvSD9tpg2buCzMGIJKLuSkWVgh5xluaJzZR1ZOIiXYzvLoLC7b7vsVDjQ4maT27-hI/s2048/20210327_120705_01.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWhx-gMpb_8jMciLPRsDNRYOjB-L1GwPBf49qul805z5fZJie0JGERE5V5MrMmLO_LUytxqs1PapvSD9tpg2buCzMGIJKLuSkWVgh5xluaJzZR1ZOIiXYzvLoLC7b7vsVDjQ4maT27-hI/w480-h640/20210327_120705_01.jpg" width="480" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCQZreGQSDh4TavlCoJY5AMxVVqkTPzqlYUlXTt8RI0LNHGh4TA_3a3dSfDeGxckQSbBEjdPshBq_4i0J_bPGcD5z3YsSd-FW4xIPdiFQ0rCCFAtj-_hIo6bWp71yzdhwxY-OFUJf-Lwc/s2048/20210327_120811.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="2048" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCQZreGQSDh4TavlCoJY5AMxVVqkTPzqlYUlXTt8RI0LNHGh4TA_3a3dSfDeGxckQSbBEjdPshBq_4i0J_bPGcD5z3YsSd-FW4xIPdiFQ0rCCFAtj-_hIo6bWp71yzdhwxY-OFUJf-Lwc/w640-h360/20210327_120811.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6_8Leuz5HlhduOKEaD5zyS9MDwKXbeKxm6SUZIi_Inw1-g-jws1cuJQsA0ddcD6C3KULeV7m4JkR4ia7kmD_q_dwi9Icg2SCVe7masDiL0AGlVvICx-sEgq5ntAFblFfsLSaR9OPvzGI/s2048/20210327_121551.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1152" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6_8Leuz5HlhduOKEaD5zyS9MDwKXbeKxm6SUZIi_Inw1-g-jws1cuJQsA0ddcD6C3KULeV7m4JkR4ia7kmD_q_dwi9Icg2SCVe7masDiL0AGlVvICx-sEgq5ntAFblFfsLSaR9OPvzGI/w360-h640/20210327_121551.jpg" width="360" /></span></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">That sums up our spring break trip. Gatlinburg was a little different than I was expecting, definitely a little more commercialized and touristy than I remembered. However, we were never lacking for anything to do and would not have lacked, even if we had stayed longer. A trip to Gatlinburg is definitely what you make of it. Our kids were more interested in the attractions and Chris and I are always on the hunt for good restaurants, so that's what we did in our short time there. However, I really wish we would have had more time to hike in the park and spend time at the cabin...maybe on a future trip a few years from now. It was a great vacation where we made lots of memories. I am so grateful for all of God's blessings on our family and experiences like these that we can enjoy together. </span></p>Eleanorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14932019979235280412noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4102401289792337769.post-39002983587533692292020-10-11T22:22:00.005-05:002021-03-07T00:17:33.186-06:00Six Flags Over Georgia {Chloe's 12th Birthday}<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">It's hard to believe I have a 12 year old now.

Evan's choice is always a party. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it
really wasn't an option this year. Evan decided to break the mold, and asked for
a bunny for his birthday instead. This was a tall order considering none of the pet stores in our area had bunnies because of the pandemic, but I managed to find one through a Facebook sale page at the last minute.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_X3JArWdHBISyIBi-vNJ2Qf2srGuJPATSAn6mB6Y9B1g9_sEf7e0IuG3tJ2Yjn1WLIzvSPLguiMYps0IfQUSBhbqfszeaDr2B2N-LEto0PYhRhludY4zljqNnDqxaYd2HUwbfDtOUdJQ/s2048/20200524_103124%255B1%255D.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1152" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_X3JArWdHBISyIBi-vNJ2Qf2srGuJPATSAn6mB6Y9B1g9_sEf7e0IuG3tJ2Yjn1WLIzvSPLguiMYps0IfQUSBhbqfszeaDr2B2N-LEto0PYhRhludY4zljqNnDqxaYd2HUwbfDtOUdJQ/w360-h640/20200524_103124%255B1%255D.jpg" width="360" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Before the pandemic, Evan and I had been brainstorming party themes. Evan loves
playing Minecraft, so we decided on it as the theme. In terms of cost, the bunny
wasn't a tall order, so I decided to have a small celebration as well. I invited
the grandmothers and Aunt Sara over for a Minecraft themed lunch. Evan knew
about the birthday lunch, but he was surprised by the Minecraft set-up. If you
know anything about me, you know I love a themed party!</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0cRCcG0Pp1eawpS7M_kYsLxvRT84KaqNsVhHgCcO312ecJJ7cwWt6hHHvm3k-r_ii0ICoDIj0a5bLMIrhy0jgF7aW_Mh5frgNa7s2Cetom5cxjF711Vl4mgv7bv5cRAKn5iIigfRR0EI/s2048/20200519_083121%255B1%255D.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="2048" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0cRCcG0Pp1eawpS7M_kYsLxvRT84KaqNsVhHgCcO312ecJJ7cwWt6hHHvm3k-r_ii0ICoDIj0a5bLMIrhy0jgF7aW_Mh5frgNa7s2Cetom5cxjF711Vl4mgv7bv5cRAKn5iIigfRR0EI/w640-h360/20200519_083121%255B1%255D.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCmnJ1OV5AThFnQlBvIrNGnMcZJxLXroO-FjBehyphenhyphenYMVD3yDnRZER6iXO9flbhreQnl65EfdzEBE66rSdFZYwHVv6vooUkum_-p7k5EKWE08IvoKF92r7GDWO9d8q1WZYiqkCII5Rjjn5k/s2048/20200519_102558%255B1%255D.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1152" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCmnJ1OV5AThFnQlBvIrNGnMcZJxLXroO-FjBehyphenhyphenYMVD3yDnRZER6iXO9flbhreQnl65EfdzEBE66rSdFZYwHVv6vooUkum_-p7k5EKWE08IvoKF92r7GDWO9d8q1WZYiqkCII5Rjjn5k/w360-h640/20200519_102558%255B1%255D.jpg" width="360" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip-DvNsuFzQiI_d_g-fPqBEaqJtbzpoqHijHNK_AXpaLx6PbGP7x-7mWJeapMRzpf0yhDF3hoSTJZam24jS6-SmH8Ty9GR70nOB_lhgWJGRs8HjK3V-2vYtRBUBW_I8Lb8ZP8vc3WfGKc/s2048/20200519_112517%255B1%255D.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1152" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip-DvNsuFzQiI_d_g-fPqBEaqJtbzpoqHijHNK_AXpaLx6PbGP7x-7mWJeapMRzpf0yhDF3hoSTJZam24jS6-SmH8Ty9GR70nOB_lhgWJGRs8HjK3V-2vYtRBUBW_I8Lb8ZP8vc3WfGKc/w360-h640/20200519_112517%255B1%255D.jpg" width="360" /></span></a></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMdRY5J15KvRPSm-r5EGhhBmdqLuvVjEODandDcFMo5Xs2B25WqR974EXZ92eFGWVbZ5IqFzTEK2En17PVi6720D9_T8BfKAbr0ct5FUI_OVAxz_w_K8O69frMH6DXC5yDCyUFi7Wmwdk/s2048/20200519_115636%255B1%255D.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1152" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMdRY5J15KvRPSm-r5EGhhBmdqLuvVjEODandDcFMo5Xs2B25WqR974EXZ92eFGWVbZ5IqFzTEK2En17PVi6720D9_T8BfKAbr0ct5FUI_OVAxz_w_K8O69frMH6DXC5yDCyUFi7Wmwdk/w360-h640/20200519_115636%255B1%255D.jpg" width="360" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: center;">We also surprised him with a yard sign.

Over the weekend, my workplace had contacted me about our new work schedule in order to keep employees socially distanced. Did I mention that in the midst of all of this, my husband was in Ecuador on a missions trip?! We began to worry that he would be stuck in Ecuador for an indefinite amount of time. God was on our side though, as Chris and the missions team were able to book the very last flight back to the U.S. from Ecuador until the following July! ~ 3/22/2021</span></i></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">The kids and I planned a trip to Noccalula Falls Park in Gadsden to stay in a cabin for spring break while Chris was in Ecuador on his missions trip. In addition, the kids were set to compete in our JBQ State Semi-Finals at Camp Springville following our stay at the cabin. We were ready for a fun and competitive spring break. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the JBQ competition was cancelled. In the meanwhile, Chris had made it home from Ecuador (Hallelujah!) and we were still planning our trip to Noccalula Falls. However, we received a call the day before our trip that the park was closing and our cabin stay was cancelled. It was understandable, but the kids were disappointed. I knew we could still plan a fun, socially distanced trip, so I booked an amazing secluded cabin in Mentone. If you remember my post about our <a href="https://adventuresintommyland.blogspot.com/2017/11/the-great-outdoors-our-camping-adventure.html">camping trip at DeSoto State Park with the cousins</a>, Mentone is in the same area.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8H1-Bp_rq_0U9rGsqCTwXnaml5tLReNiHaKmT-EiHMkNGZdR5ZiRpaCTEqhDw0g4N6FhT_7axhQjxZ1dsrK0tRu3kYa00kiCOJ9A9jNISfLo8rZ-cyW3qgji9p_4y56vyzouoH1164LU/s2048/IMG_3237.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8H1-Bp_rq_0U9rGsqCTwXnaml5tLReNiHaKmT-EiHMkNGZdR5ZiRpaCTEqhDw0g4N6FhT_7axhQjxZ1dsrK0tRu3kYa00kiCOJ9A9jNISfLo8rZ-cyW3qgji9p_4y56vyzouoH1164LU/w640-h426/IMG_3237.JPG" width="640" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large; text-align: left;">Before checking into our cabin, we made a pitstop at Little River Canyon Falls.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT3GWnbJ1ncG6M8kdHhMvlVxg4r3zDehXIOFgVjZ3EI1CNU5z9zfQ2lbVE4YEWLxzVpjm9_G_P6F52qM55wTRawhqRaC3bIMl8NjzRHos9WBRfGnDFmr5y7LAH7rnfRA9sGDyTdFfgkIs/s4032/20200320_124716.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1960" data-original-width="4032" height="312" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT3GWnbJ1ncG6M8kdHhMvlVxg4r3zDehXIOFgVjZ3EI1CNU5z9zfQ2lbVE4YEWLxzVpjm9_G_P6F52qM55wTRawhqRaC3bIMl8NjzRHos9WBRfGnDFmr5y7LAH7rnfRA9sGDyTdFfgkIs/w640-h312/20200320_124716.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL9Lq_xMccmWVJGJo3hQUx-B4fG7i-bkgcb_KO-mSaQpFdu8MLC_zEA1rJZFfJWscM1voir5c2enjgxhL4NjD-GHw5aVObyvCUXs3nacPgNWbV5uyODXUo8ohDnLRdGoG_rAa2EzgUvxU/s4032/20200320_124552.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1960" data-original-width="4032" height="312" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL9Lq_xMccmWVJGJo3hQUx-B4fG7i-bkgcb_KO-mSaQpFdu8MLC_zEA1rJZFfJWscM1voir5c2enjgxhL4NjD-GHw5aVObyvCUXs3nacPgNWbV5uyODXUo8ohDnLRdGoG_rAa2EzgUvxU/w640-h312/20200320_124552.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBB89SFJpCuF97mxu7rSKvG6cmPy21HzHNDHtqc2m3yjgypQxiAu7RBs04Pr0pu3oKDynNFzKPGhXD8qjaw-4zCcSbX3U9HvSVtIKflmXk2ez0fg8MKtIXMOqxKUPrluiPYEN7tcoMKyk/s4032/20200320_124531.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1960" data-original-width="4032" height="312" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBB89SFJpCuF97mxu7rSKvG6cmPy21HzHNDHtqc2m3yjgypQxiAu7RBs04Pr0pu3oKDynNFzKPGhXD8qjaw-4zCcSbX3U9HvSVtIKflmXk2ez0fg8MKtIXMOqxKUPrluiPYEN7tcoMKyk/w640-h312/20200320_124531.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">We also hiked to Martha Falls and we actually made it to end of the trail this time.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_49g3RX1FX8N0KAH2RIUiXZT8qPhe6V4p9dZc4hcb8giUTrKpKaNBnHj6qbztyq4ecA1EW4EKC34BHh72N3ISea-d-yHeh59SuNzomHjsRmkR2POh6KYe4OlrT49g5aIWg4h_KoYzEEg/s4032/20200320_131629.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1960" data-original-width="4032" height="312" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_49g3RX1FX8N0KAH2RIUiXZT8qPhe6V4p9dZc4hcb8giUTrKpKaNBnHj6qbztyq4ecA1EW4EKC34BHh72N3ISea-d-yHeh59SuNzomHjsRmkR2POh6KYe4OlrT49g5aIWg4h_KoYzEEg/w640-h312/20200320_131629.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: center;">We arrived at the cabin a little while later.

<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">This past weekend was our annual camping trip with the cousins. For this year's trip, we decided to camp at Monte Sano State Park near our cousins' hometown of Huntsville, Alabama.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">When we arrived, the cousins had already set up camp and were waiting on us. The campground was in a great location, nestled on a mountaintop with breathtaking views of city. While Chris finished setting up our campsite, I took the opportunity to take some pictures of the kids.</span></div>

As most of you know, I usually let the kids decide between a party or a road trip for their birthdays. Evan always chooses a party, but Chloe usually opts for a road trip.</span></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">This year, she let me know a few months prior to her birthday that she wanted to go to Great Wolf Lodge in LaGrange, Georgia, so this momma got to planning. Chloe and I stayed at Great Wolf Lodge in Concord, North Carolina a year earlier when she competed at the <a href="https://adventuresintommyland.blogspot.com/2017/06/jbq-great-wolf-lodge.html" target="_blank">2018 JBQ Southeast Regional</a>. However, this was our first trip to Great Wolf as a family.</div>

<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">I could think of no better title for this post after my allergic reaction to the biting flies that literally chased us off the beach on the first evening of our trip. For those of you that had the honor (or should I say "dishonor") of seeing my legs after our return, you understand. A steroid shot and some strong antihistamines later, and I am on the mend. Although, I doubt my legs will see the light of day anytime soon.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Chloe and Evan had a Junior Bible Quiz competition in Mobile this past weekend, <a href="https://adventuresintommyland.blogspot.com/2018/09/beach-vacayagain-2018.html">so like we did last year</a>, we planned a mini beach vacay. This year I decided that we should stay in Dauphin Island, since it was only about 50 minutes away from the competition site. We did the busy beach scene early in the summer when we vacationed in <a href="https://adventuresintommyland.blogspot.com/2019/06/destin-part-i.html">Destin</a>, so we were looking for a more peaceful beach this time. I also liked that a beach house on Dauphin Island rented for about the same price as a condo in Gulf Shores.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">We had the beach all to ourselves. The water was shallow and clear. We enjoyed playing in the water and admiring the sea life. It seemed like the perfect beach day...BUT biting flies were swarming all around us. We realized very quickly why we had the beach all to ourselves. People were probably watching us from their windows thinking, " Oh, those poor suckers." I couldn't sit on the sand, my favorite beach spot, without flies biting me. After about 30 minutes, the flies had won and we were racing up the road back to the house, so we could get some relief from the constant biting. I wouldn't realize the damage that had been done in that half hour until the following day when red welts began appearing on my body.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">After washing up and recovering from our trauma, we went out in search of dinner.

I got the seafood special and Chris got the surf and turf. My fish was overcooked, but all-in-all, we enjoyed our meals.</span></div>

This was the first time in my adult life that I'd been on vacation for longer than a few days. Although it may look like we stayed busy the entire trip, we actually had a lot of down time. The vacation was restful and recharging, just the medicine that we needed.</span></div><p></p>Eleanorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14932019979235280412noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4102401289792337769.post-25717399818540071362019-06-01T21:47:00.001-05:002021-03-06T22:13:56.672-06:00Destin {Part I}<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">We arrived a little after 4pm, so we decided to save our first beach trip for the following morning. We took a dip in the pool and headed out to find some dinner. I got to witness my first beach sunset of the year. Ahhh, all was right with the world.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Parking was a nightmare at Pompano Joe's, so we decided on The Crab Trap, which was about a 15 minute walk from our condo. I got the crab cakes and they were delish! Here is a picture that we took while we waited. (Chloe was behind the camera.)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">There was a man walking around offering to make balloon creations. We talked to him and found out that he was from our hometown and was even a member of our church at one time. It's such a small world! The kids really liked his balloon animals as well. They held on to them until I finally threw away the shriveled remnants a week later.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Later that night, we headed to Uncle Bucks Fishbowl for a little late-night bowling. I read a lot of online articles about family activities in Destin and this kept popping up. I found a groupon for it and we decided to go. It was a little more commercialized than I was expecting. I didn't realize it was attached to Bass Pro. However, it had the coolest underwater theme. We got the cheese curds as an appetizer. I hear from my crew who gobbled them up before I had a chance to try them that they were delicious.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This was our second camping trip with the cousins, and it certainly won't be our last. We always have such a good time. It's so fun to get outdoors and spend time with family. This was my favorite family camping trip yet! I can't wait to do it again!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Some of these photos eventually made their way onto this year's Christmas card. (I am sorry if you did not receive one. I was slowly gathering addresses, and once I got the flu, all visions of a holly jolly Christmas came to a halt.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The week leading up to Christmas was a battle, but considering how sick I was, I don't think I could have asked for a better day to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior. Chris and I had a quiet day at home with the kids. My mom, bless her soul, stopped by for a few hours and brought us Christmas dinner. I hope that everyone enjoyed their holiday and had a Very Merry Christmas!!!</span>Eleanorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14932019979235280412noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4102401289792337769.post-67497971847138497572018-12-22T22:32:00.001-06:002018-12-22T22:32:20.059-06:002018 Santa Pictures<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">For nostalgia's sake (because who knows how many years we have left before they refuse), here are some of Chloe and Evan's past pictures with the big man. Lola never forced the littles to sit with Santa, so if they weren't having it, neither was she. My digital Santa pictures only go back to 2011 and you'll notice a few with just Chloe. Evan was there, but wouldn't have anything to do with Santa...Chloe was much too willing to take the spotlight... </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I hope everyone is enjoying their holiday season.

You know the whole, "For every Christmas tree lit before December, an elf drowns..." I can't even say it!</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">However, there is one exception to this rule, and that would be Aubie Claus!!</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">We missed our annual photos with Aubie Claus last year, but this year I was bound and determined that we would get a date and time slot that worked with our schedule. Seriously, y'all. The site kept crashing and all time slots were filled within 15 minutes of it going live. Aubie has some hardcore fans!:)</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I'm so glad I was able to make it work because the pictures turned out so cute.</span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Evan, I hope the Lord continues to guide you as you go out into the world. I pray that you continue to grow in faith and become a mighty warrior for God. After all, when Daddy searched the meaning of the name "Evan" before you were born, and found that it meant "warrior", he knew what the name of his son would be. You are also the son of the most mighty and righteous King. God bless you, Evan.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I know that Chloe enjoyed her day and especially enjoyed sharing it with Carly. It's hard to believe that my baby girl is now in the double digits. Time slow down! I am constantly amazed at this self-motivated, beautiful, and brilliant girl!

And, despite the early school year, we weren't ready to say goodbye to summer just yet.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">We picked the kids up from school on Friday afternoon and drove straight to Gulf Shores Beach. (Every kids dream, right!) We arrived at our condo that evening and we decided to take a quick dip in the condo's pool before heading out to dinner.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">We snapped these pictures on the condo's balcony before dinner. That view, though!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The next morning, we woke up early for a JBQ competition in Mobile, about a one-hour drive from Gulf Shores. (<a href="https://adventuresintommyland.blogspot.com/2017/06/jbq-great-wolf-lodge.html">Remember JBQ?</a>) This was the reason for our random, weekend beach vacation. Our Achiever (Advanced) team was competing that day. Although Evan has recently joined the team, he sat at the table a few times during the rounds. The kids did great! Evangel placed 2nd in our division. We had three top quizzers and Chloe was top quizzer. We are excited about the great start to the competition season.</span></span><br />

He may have been extra hungry, though, since we didn't get seated until 8pm. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"></span><b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike></span><br />

My dare devil Chloe was super pumped, but my Evan was apprehensive. Chris and Chloe rode the Wild Woody!</span></div>

It seems like the new school year comes earlier and earlier each year. After a tumultuous summer, I don't think any of us were mentally prepared for the start of another school year...but, we're slowly getting back into the groove.</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I think that most of our friends and family were surprised at my Type A child's "undecided" response to what she wants to be when she grows up. But hey, she's 9 years old. She doesn't have to have the rest of her life figured out so that I have something cute to write on her back to school sign. Ha!</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">My kids go to an academic magnet school, so most years, we hit the ground running. I worry sometimes about the pressure that is placed on them at such a young age, but am always amazed at how they adapt and excel. We had an incident last year, which made me question if this was the right program for my two. I still go back and forth...Ultimately, I have to consider the alternatives and I hope and pray that we're making the right decision. Wishing these two another great school year! </span>Eleanorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14932019979235280412noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4102401289792337769.post-13992832899426390952018-07-04T21:06:00.000-05:002018-07-29T13:56:17.192-05:00Our 4th of July<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Independence Day happens to be one of my favorite holidays, right behind Christmas and Easter of course.:) It's been a few years since I've posted about our 4th of July festivities.</span><br />

When I forget or don't have time to do them, they remind me about how much these meals mean to them.</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Chloe rejects all things she considers girly and every year becomes a little more of battle with her.

He went to be with the Lord on June 3, 2018. We buried him on June 27th at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery with full military honors. (His funeral-memorial service was the Saturday following his death.) It was a beautiful burial service befitting of a great man and patriot. He will be forever loved and dearly missed.</span></span></div>

This past spring, she decided that she wanted to play softball. She played tee ball when she was 5 years old, but then decided to move on to other sports. Not much to our surprise, Chloe was able to pick up where she left off pretty quickly. As quickly as Chloe picked up, Chris and I adjusted to being ballpark parents again...like we had a choice.</span><br />

<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Here are a few pictures that I took of my Lady Warrior at her first game of the regular season. (Mom fail: I forgot to pack her belt.) Surprisingly, I didn't take many pictures throughout the season, so that's all folks. Her team was a force to be reckoned with and only lost two games. I only count one of those losses, but I'll spare you the details.;)</span><br />
