Tennessee Vacation Pt. 2

On Tuesday, we went for a morning bike ride and then caving!

 

Our coordinating outfits that we bought on our shopping trip on Sunday! :) 

 My pictures didn't turn out so great in the cave, but this is one that sort of did. It was really  neat though. The tour took about 1 hour.

When we got home, the guys started in on trying to get us to make cinnamon rolls. Finally, Sarah and I decided to appease them. :)

They did turn out very yummy! And the guys were happy in the end too! :)

Tennessee Vacation Pt. 1. 

Tennessee Vacation Pt.1

A week ago today, David and I headed down to Tennessee to visit some dear friends of ours, Sarah and Mike. Sarah blogs over at Sarah's  Heart's Home as well! We hadn't seen each since Christmas time, so everyone was very excited to spend a few days together!

We arrived on Sunday afternoon and started vacation off with Sarah and I leaving the guys with the children and going on a 2 hour shopping trip! :) We found out when we got back that the guys and kids ended up having a water balloon fight and David, of course, was targeted the pretty soaked! Wish I could have seen it, haha! It sounded like everyone had a good time. Of course, the guys were pretty anxious for us for return after about 1 hour, lol!

On Monday, Grandma came over to watch the kids while the adults when on a train ride and white water rafting! I must say, I was pretty nervous about the white water rafting part; I had never done it before! It ended up being a blast! Now for some pictures...

 

This is the train that we rode on for about 3 hours, before being dropped off at the white water rafting site. We sat in an open car, which was great! A nice breeze and pretty views!

We passed this beautiful lake on our way; it was huge! And there were house boats everywhere on it. So pretty! 

David, me, Sarah, and Mike enjoying the ride! 

This is the river that we went white water rafting on. Like I said earlier, I was pretty nervous; Sarah and I both asked to wear helmets, haha. But it ended up being great and we all had a blast. You can go see pictures of us on the raft by clicking this link.

 

Overall, it was a very fun filled and wonderful day! We ended up getting back home around 9pm! Everyone was very tired, including the kids because they waited up for us! haha 

First hike of the season!

** I tried posting this earlier in the week, but blogger was acting weird and wouldn't upload any of my pictures. So this post is about a week late **

This past weekend my husband and I were able to take our first hike of the season! The weather here in Ohio has been really awful this spring, so much rain. Every weekend has been either too cold or raining. This past weekend the sun was out and it was so warm outside! We decided to take advantage of it!

The park we went to is actually the same park we were married in, 5 years ago. I wanted to get a picture of the stone shelter, but someone was having a birthday party in it so I couldn't. :(

We also managed a first picnic in before our hike. Almond/peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, fruit salad and chips!

A bridge we crossed on our hike. 

We have had a lot of rain here lately, so the water falls were going pretty well! 

A little friend we found along the way. 

So glad summer is finally here!
