I am always about a month or so behind in these updates. But I want to do them. I want to be able to look back (besides on Facebook or Instagram) and see what we did during these weird times. And for you Carrie. 😉

We have done a lot of hiking and just being outdoors. We’ve always spent enormous time outside but lately we’ve been trying to find actual hiking places.

We spent the  4th of July home. We grilled out and our neighbors had beautiful fireworks.

Our first outing in July was to Isom’s Orchards. We saw beautiful peach trees, sunflowers, and took a strange ride in the back of a cart to the orchards.

Sunflowers!

Keilee also celebrated her 4th year as owner of Magical Memories! Looking through pictures she has continued to try to up her game all the time.  Especially trying to navigate this time.  And of course we had to do a photo shoot!

Sportsman’s Lake is a go to place for us.  It’s about 40 minutes away and is beautiful and peaceful. It also has camping area. Our dream is to get a van and turn it into a travel van for camping. So if anyone has one of those let me know.

 

We also painted our front door. We have been wanting to do this forever. And it took less than an hour and costs less than $10!!

We went back to Sportsman for a picnic and to spend time with killer ducks.

We have several murals planned for our town.  We are so excited because we love murals!

Our sweet friend Heather sent us a drive that she does and we decided to do it.  It is almost completely gravel roads but we loved it so much.  It runs right alongside the Tennesse River!

Keilee gets sent things all.the.time.  This lovely retro company sent her this dress and she did it as a Tinkerbell look.

We went to a very small nearby town that my Daddy suggested.  We found an old cemetery and spent some time there.

We go a lot. But we usually spend at least 3-4 days at the pool and it didn’t open this year.  The only thing we ever pay for is gas. We bring out lunch.  And we have discovered some beautiful places.  August has been filled with more of the same.

Being in nature soothes my soul.
