Special Thx
The great outdoors
To get out of the house and re-explore the area I took the girls to TVA property and found the perfect place to hike and bike. The trails are not too long, or dangerous, for me and the girls to hike, but it isn’t so easy that they will not feel like they’ve been on a hike. We weren’t dressed for it today, but we do plan to go back over the next few weekends to explore the area section by section. They were fascinated by the small waterfall and enjoyed the cool water on their feet.
Walking into the woods they were a little concerned that the tracks were still in use. No worries, perfectly safe. We saw several birds and butterflies on our short afternoon adventure. However, if you have ever attempted to experience nature with a 10 and 7 yr old you know that there is no such thing as a quiet hike. Chatty-chatty. They’ll learn.
And in further news…the ultimate in time wasting activities:
The sorting hat says that I belong in Gryffindor!
Said Gryffindor, "We’ll teach all those with brave deeds to their name."
Students of Gryffindor are typically brave, daring, and chivalrous.
Famous members include Harry, Ron, Hermione, Albus Dumbledore (head of Hogwarts), and Minerva McGonagall (head of Gryffindor).

Quiz ever created.
I was one point from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, and Slytherin was trailing by a good 10+. My 10yo will get a kick out of this survey.

this sounds like a nice retreat–are you sure those tracks aren’t used, they don’t look too rusty
Only by the ghost trains sage!

Oh wow girl what beautiful photos! What a beautiful way to spend your day! BTW-love the new look
new look? uh-oh, what are you seeing? I’m still using the reader’s choice theme where you can see the lion, turtle, or fish. I did play some over the weekend…let me know if something is weird!

Aww, how cute! Looks like a beautiful place. It’ll be amazing once the leaves change colors. Did you ever try finding Kinlock?
It’s on the agenda. There are SO many places we want to visit. To enjoy Kinlock properly I think we will have to wait until late spring.
What you said about the leaves…It will be amazing! When you get to the top and look out over the river the tree line is already starting to turn. In a week or so the colors will be vivid. We’re going back soon and I can’t wait to get more pics.
